Surely a fatal server error is not a necessary condition for something to
be broken?
But let's put it in a different way: It's a matter of precedence of
different configuration directives, on the one hand
AddHandler/AddType/SetHandler, on the other hand 'Dav'.
The current behaviour is this: 'Dav' takes precedence over
AddHandler/AddType/SetHandler for all methods except GET and POST. Except
if the Dav provider handles GET by itself, then 'Dav' takes precedence
over AddHandler/AddType/SetHandler for all methods except POST.
I think this is illogical, difficult to understand, and makes debugging
problems harder than necessary. IMHO, 'Dav' should take precedence for all
methods (though my patch doesn't touch POST yet).
Cheers,
