redirectring webDAV requests

[Info]

Hi All, I have some Apache(2.0)/ mod_perl(2.0)/ perl(5.8)/ webDAV queries My mod_perl handler redirects DAV requests. Each user logs on then points their DAV client to <srv>/dav/home >From the login info, the handler translates this to /home/www/userXYZ and does an internal redirect to it. 1. First step partially works, I can redirect to <srv>/testuser/, which is an Alias defined in httpd.conf as pointing to /home/www/userXYZ. Problem: Dav client only sees folders, not files, and the folders recurse. 2. Second step is more tricky, I cant seem to redirect to a sub-path of an alias. I need to do this, cant have one alias per user as there would be 40,000 Aliases! I have an alias /dav/ which points to /home/www. But when I try to redirect to /dav/userXYZ the DAV client complains that "Server doesnt support WebDAV at resource /dav/home Same thing happens when I point DavCli directly at /dav/userXYZ, the DAV client complains that "Server doesnt support WebDAV at resource /dav/userXYZ. It seems to like Alias's but not their sub-paths. 3. Eventually I want to redirect into another path that the handler handles, so that I can reject invalid requests. This means 2 handlers for the same URI: my .pm and mod_dav. How can I "handle" a request then (optionally) pass it on to mod_dav? Thanks in advance, I'd much appreciate any comments. Mike Burton
