Please do not. Some mod_dav providers need to implement their own GET handler because the resource requested might not be a plain file (e.g. it is stored in the database). Apart from Julians comments, SSI is a filter and can be applied to these resources as well (no problem) and the same is true for PHP if mod_php is build as a filter. But usually: Use a different URL for WebDAV than for live access. Regards Rüdiger
