BrowserMatch "Microsoft Data Access Internet Publishing Provider" redirect-carefully BrowserMatch "^gnome-vfs" redirect-carefully If you can't connect to your DAV server using Microsoft web folders or older versions of Gnome virtual folders and you find something similar to "OPTIONS /davdocs HTTP/1.1" 301 in your access log, you have hit a bug with certain client implementations of WebDAV. Apache is sending a redirect (HTTP code 301) to the client, but the client is getting confused and does not follow the redirect. Apache provides a workaround against this buggy behavior, skipping the redirect when the redirect-carefully environment variable is set. This example, included in the default Apache configuration file, sets the redirect-carefully environment variable for two WebDAV clients known to have the problems mentioned. |
