The apache server I have in my company blocks some HTTP methods that are required for WebDav. I would like to help my admin to enable HTTP methods I need. He sent me httpd.config file but I'm unable to find the section which blocks methods I need (like LOCK and UNLOCK)

In directory section I have:

AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo Indexes Limit Options=Indexes,Includes,IncludesNOEXEC,MultiViews,SymLinksIfOwnerMatch,FollowSymLinks,None

My admin also have told me that he did not find .htaccess

So my question is - where does the Apache block methods I need (does the apache enables only "default" http methods?)

And second question is - can I unlock the methods I need by listing them in httpd.conf file in directory section, for example:

  <Limit GET PUT POST DELETE PROPFIND PROPPATCH MKCOL COPY MOVE LOCK UNLOCK>
  Require valid-user
  </Limit>

I don't want to use the mod_dav module (i want to use sabre server). I just want to unlock http methods that are required for WebDav

Thank you, Mike

  • Apache 2.4+ provide a mod_allowmethods to do exactly this: devdocs.io/apache_http_server/mod/mod_allowmethods#allowmethods Commented Apr 29, 2017 at 14:38

    Thank you @hjpotter92. I know about this. But is it possible to find a place where the http method I require are locked? And can I unlock them without using any other modules? Or - to put it in other words - does Apache lock some HTTP methods by default? I found this on the website you gave: mod_allowmethods was written to replace the rather kludgy implementation of Limit and LimitExcept So I understand that it still possible to use Limit and LimitExcept to unlock methods I need. And that means that Apache blocks some methods by default. Am I right? Commented Apr 29, 2017 at 14:54
  • I don't think Apache disabled any methods on its own. Commented Apr 29, 2017 at 15:15
