Restricting files and directory listings served by DAV

Title: Restricting files and directory listings served by DAV

Hi – I’m attempting to create a custom apache dav config to restrict serving of files and directory listings under /www/live to just *.pdf files.
I’ve found with this config the dav clients are denied access (403) to list the directory - 

Dav On

<Directory /www/live>
deny from all
<filesmatch "^www$|\.(pdf)$">
allow from all
</filesmatch>
</Directory>

Is it possible to allow directory listings of just PDF files?
What would the apache config look like for this?

I should point out I’ve experimented with IndexIgnore and while it works OK for some clients (firefox) that do GET method – it does not restrict the listings for dav clients that do PROPFIND (eg iPhone WedDAV Navigator)

We need the restrictiveness of filesmatch, but not so restrictive as to disallow the dav clients from building a directory index 

Thanks for any tips, will summarize

Fletcher.
