Sorry for needless cluttering of the list. I got the answer just now. For those
interested:
The if_match-bug was fixed in Apache 2.2.8. So it will not work with apache
2.2.3.
The latest release of Apache is 2.2.11.
I had tested the Apache fix for this bug before the release of 2.2.8 by
patching 2.2.3 with this fix.

Subject: [us...@httpd] Precondition failed 412 error on uploading files using
davfs
Hi all
I was curious if anybody has experience with the following issue. We are using
the latest stable davfs 1.3.3 to upload files to Apache.. There is an option in
davfs2.conf called if_match_bug. With this option enabled davfs sends a HEAD
request after each PUT. Setting this option to 0 is supposed to eliminate this
extra HEAD.
The guys from davfs told me this:
"if_match_bug:
Yes it is Apache with mod_dav and mod_dav_fs. The latest one or two releases of
apache should no longer have this bug. But your version seems to be one of the
version with this bug."
So I set up the latest version of Apache released by RedHat: 2.2.3. And yet
writes continue to fail without if_match_bug and the same 412 error is returned
by Apache.
Any idea what can I do about this?
Oskar
