# Apache模塊 mod_dav | [說明](#calibre_link-11) | 允許Apache提供[DAV](http://www.webdav.org/)協議支持 | | --- | --- | | [狀態](#calibre_link-12) | 擴展(E) | | [模塊名](#calibre_link-13) | dav_module | | [源文件](#calibre_link-14) | mod_dav.c | ### 概述 This module provides class 1 and class 2 [WebDAV](http://www.webdav.org) ('Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning') functionality for Apache. This extension to the HTTP protocol allows creating, moving, copying, and deleting resources and collections on a remote web server. ## Enabling WebDAV To enable `mod_dav`, add the following to a container in your `httpd.conf` file: ``` Dav On ``` This enables the DAV file system provider, which is implemented by the `mod_dav_fs` module. Therefore, that module must be compiled into the server or loaded at runtime using the `LoadModule` directive. In addition, a location for the DAV lock database must be specified in the global section of your `httpd.conf` file using the `DavLockDB` directive: ``` DavLockDB /usr/local/apache2/var/DavLock ``` The directory containing the lock database file must be writable by the `User`和`Group` under which Apache is running. You may wish to add a `<Limit>` clause inside the `<Location>` directive to limit access to DAV-enabled locations. If you want to set the maximum amount of bytes that a DAV client can send at one request, you have to use the `LimitXMLRequestBody` directive. The "normal" `LimitRequestBody` directive has no effect on DAV requests. ### Full Example ``` DavLockDB /usr/local/apache2/var/DavLock <Location /foo> Dav On AuthType Basic AuthName DAV AuthUserFile user.passwd <LimitExcept GET OPTIONS> require user admin </LimitExcept> </Location> ``` `mod_dav` is a descendent of Greg Stein's [mod_dav for Apache 1.3](http://www.webdav.org/mod_dav/). More information about the module is available from that site. ## 安全問題 Since DAV access methods allow remote clients to manipulate files on the server, you must take particular care to assure that your server is secure before enabling `mod_dav`. Any location on the server where DAV is enabled should be protected by authentication. The use of HTTP Basic Authentication is not recommended. You should use at least HTTP Digest Authentication, which is provided by the `mod_auth_digest` module. Nearly all WebDAV clients support this authentication method. An alternative is Basic Authentication over an [SSL](#calibre_link-78) enabled connection. In order for `mod_dav` to manage files, it must be able to write to the directories and files under its control using the `User`和`Group` under which Apache is running. New files created will also be owned by this `User`和`Group`. For this reason, it is important to control access to this account. The DAV repository is considered private to Apache; modifying files outside of Apache (for example using FTP or filesystem-level tools) should not be allowed. `mod_dav` may be subject to various kinds of denial-of-service attacks. The `LimitXMLRequestBody` directive can be used to limit the amount of memory consumed in parsing large DAV requests. The `DavDepthInfinity` directive can be used to prevent `PROPFIND` requests on a very large repository from consuming large amounts of memory. Another possible denial-of-service attack involves a client simply filling up all available disk space with many large files. There is no direct way to prevent this in Apache, so you should avoid giving DAV access to untrusted users. ## Complex Configurations One common request is to use `mod_dav` to manipulate dynamic files (PHP scripts, CGI scripts, etc). This is difficult because a `GET` request will always run the script, rather than downloading its contents. One way to avoid this is to map two different URLs to the content, one of which will run the script, and one of which will allow it to be downloaded and manipulated with DAV. ``` Alias /phparea /home/gstein/php_files Alias /php-source /home/gstein/php_files <Location /php-source> DAV On ForceType text/plain </Location> ``` With this setup, `http://example.com/phparea` can be used to access the output of the PHP scripts, and `http://example.com/php-source` can be used with a DAV client to manipulate them. ## Dav 指令 | [說明](#calibre_link-18) | Enable WebDAV HTTP methods | | --- | --- | | [語法](#calibre_link-19) | `Dav On&#124;Off&#124;provider-name` | | [默認值](#calibre_link-24) | `Dav Off` | | [作用域](#calibre_link-20) | directory | | [狀態](#calibre_link-21) | 擴展(E) | | [模塊](#calibre_link-22) | mod_dav | Use the `Dav` directive to enable the WebDAV HTTP methods for the given container: ``` <Location /foo> Dav On </Location> ``` The value `On` is actually an alias for the default provider `filesystem` which is served by the `mod_dav_fs` module. Note, that once you have DAV enabled for some location, it _cannot_ be disabled for sublocations. For a complete configuration example have a look at the [section above](#calibre_link-1030). Do not enable WebDAV until you have secured your server. Otherwise everyone will be able to distribute files on your system. ## DavDepthInfinity 指令 | [說明](#calibre_link-18) | Allow PROPFIND, Depth: Infinity requests | | --- | --- | | [語法](#calibre_link-19) | `DavDepthInfinity on&#124;off` | | [默認值](#calibre_link-24) | `DavDepthInfinity off` | | [作用域](#calibre_link-20) | server config, virtual host, directory | | [狀態](#calibre_link-21) | 擴展(E) | | [模塊](#calibre_link-22) | mod_dav | Use the `DavDepthInfinity` directive to allow the processing of `PROPFIND` requests containing the header 'Depth: Infinity'. Because this type of request could constitute a denial-of-service attack, by default it is not allowed. ## DavMinTimeout 指令 | [說明](#calibre_link-18) | Minimum amount of time the server holds a lock on a DAV resource | | --- | --- | | [語法](#calibre_link-19) | `DavMinTimeout seconds` | | [默認值](#calibre_link-24) | `DavMinTimeout 0` | | [作用域](#calibre_link-20) | server config, virtual host, directory | | [狀態](#calibre_link-21) | 擴展(E) | | [模塊](#calibre_link-22) | mod_dav | When a client requests a DAV resource lock, it can also specify a time when the lock will be automatically removed by the server. This value is only a request, and the server can ignore it or inform the client of an arbitrary value. Use the `DavMinTimeout` directive to specify, in seconds, the minimum lock timeout to return to a client. Microsoft Web Folders defaults to a timeout of 120 seconds; the `DavMinTimeout` can override this to a higher value (like 600 seconds) to reduce the chance of the client losing the lock due to network latency. ### 示例 ``` <Location /MSWord> DavMinTimeout 600 </Location> ```
