I have a situation with mod_dav where windows DAV clients always use HEAD before an PUT. I however would like to limit GET to certain users. I do this now with mod_rewrite but mod_rewrite can throw you a login screen. If I now try to limit GET , clients are unable to PUT. See my problem? / Jim >--Cliff
