The www/mod_dav port for base httpd is shipping ancient and unsupported code from webdav.org. The code base was migrated from webdav.org to apache.org in 2000:
------------------------------------------------------------------------ r85717 | gstein | 2000-06-28 10:55:58 +0200 (Wed, 28 Jun 2000) | 7 lines initial checkin of the new Apache DAV code. this is a pristine copy of mod_dav 1.0.1 (tag "V1_0_1" in the mod_dav CVS repository). For historical information about these files, see the (old) mod_dav web site at http://www.webdav.org/mod_dav/. CVS repository information can be located from those pages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Since then mod_dav has been part of apache2, and is maintained at apache.org by Apache HTTPD and Apache Subversion developers. (Subversion depends on mod_dav as part of its HTTP server.) I am running a webdav server with apache2 and its mod_dav. It can run inside chroot these days (in /var/apache2). I don't see why anyone would want to use base httpd with a 13 years old module instead and I don't think we should encourage that.
