Implementing Webdav

Has anyone implemented Webdav or MS Web folders? I would like to be able to use Web folders from work via HTTPS and, before I try to do it, would like to know if anyone else had done it successfully? If so, could they share their config?

TIA

Hi hooper35,

This is very much doable apache has support for it. And we actually thought of it a lot before since it would give a nice integration of storage when on remote machines.

The issues stopping us where that we/Apache could not guarantee consitency of files accessed by anyone else than Apache. And since we also made these shares avaliable via Samba that was a real problem. Further on you will get problems with permissions on files and directories. This since files and directories has to be accessible by the apache user, www-data.
