dav_methods

Allows the specified HTTP and WebDAV methods. The parameter off denies all methods processed by this module. The following methods are supported: PUT, DELETE, MKCOL, COPY, and MOVE.

A file uploaded with the PUT method is first written to a temporary file, and then the file is renamed. Starting from version 0.8.9, temporary files and the persistent store can be put on different file systems. However, be aware that in this case a file is copied across two file systems instead of the cheap renaming operation. It is thus recommended that for any given location both saved files and a directory holding temporary files, set by the client_body_temp_path directive, are put on the same file system.

When creating a file with the PUT method, it is possible to specify the modification date by passing it in the “Date” header field.
