Well, the stuff I did in the apache_hooks branch shows how you can hook
into other stages of the request chain and, for example, define a PHP
script to be called at the url translation stage or the auth stage. The
latter would allow you to perform PHP-based auth on all files, not just
PHP files, for example.
Being able to run PHP code to translate a requested uri into a different
on-disk resource would probably be useful in some sort of virtual
filesystem context, but I don't think it is directly needed for DAV
support.
I'm not too crazy about Christian's patch. It allows POST data on a HEAD
request, for example. I think that is a bad idea.
This change:
- && !strcmp(SG(request_info).request_method, "POST")) {
+ && strcmp(SG(request_info).request_method, "GET")) {
should instead check AP(accept_options) and only if that is on should it
explicitly allow POST data on an OPTIONS request.
However, is OPTIONS the only DAV primitive that has associated POST data?
Sure we'd need to handle PUT as well. I guess there is not POST data on a
PROPFIND.
