The ngx_http_dav_module
module is intended for file management automation via the WebDAV protocol. The module processes HTTP and WebDAV methods PUT, DELETE, MKCOL, COPY, and MOVE.
This module is not built by default, it should be enabled with the --with-http_dav_module
configuration parameter.
WebDAV clients that require additional WebDAV methods to operate will not work with this module.
location / { root /data/www; client_body_temp_path /data/client_temp; dav_methods PUT DELETE MKCOL COPY MOVE; create_full_put_path on; dav_access group:rw all:r; limit_except GET { allow 192.168.1.0/32; deny all; } }
Syntax: | create_full_put_path on | off; |
---|---|
Default: | create_full_put_path off; |
Context: | http , server , location |
The WebDAV specification only allows creating files in already existing directories. This directive allows creating all needed intermediate directories.
Syntax: | dav_access users:permissions ...; |
---|---|
Default: | dav_access user:rw; |
Context: | http , server , location |
Sets access permissions for newly created files and directories, e.g.:
dav_access user:rw group:rw all:r;
If any group
or all
access permissions are specified then user
permissions may be omitted:
dav_access group:rw all:r;
Syntax: | dav_methods
off | method ...; |
---|---|
Default: | dav_methods off; |
Context: | http , server , location |
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.
Syntax: | min_delete_depth number; |
---|---|
Default: | min_delete_depth 0; |
Context: | http , server , location |
Allows the DELETE method to remove files provided that the number of elements in a request path is not less than the specified number. For example, the directive
min_delete_depth 4;
allows removing files on requests
/users/00/00/name /users/00/00/name/pic.jpg /users/00/00/page.html
and denies the removal of
/users/00/00
