What do you mean by "add basic webdav functionality" to a cgi app?

I mean implement a level 1 webdav server with a cgi interface. A PROPFIND, for instance, would be served by the cgi application in the same way the GET and POSTs already are.

You may be able to get away with allowing mod_dav to control a particular directory and leaving cgi everywhere else, depending on what exactly you're trying to do.

I don't think that will work. WebDAV gives the contents of directories recursively. Whichever URI you give to a WebDAV client must support the DAV header on an OPTIONS request (though not all clients bother, but windows is). A PROPFIND on that resource needs to tell even about grandchildren rather than only direct subdirectories. Thus, mod_dav would at least need to serve all the properties I think and in particular have knowledge about all the content.

I found someone's posting on an apache list who was trying to do the same thing, and he wasn't helped either. I suppose it's patching apache or forget the cgi approach with it.

Cheers,

Jens
