For WinXP mounting, this patch needs to be applied:
In davserver.py replace line 254 with the following:
w.write(’%s\n’ % urllib.quote(m.virname))

With the fixed pandav, most everything seems to work right with Windows’ DAV client, and Nginx still handles GET/PUT if
using (OPTIONS|PROPFIND|LOCK|UNLOCK|PROPPATCH|HEAD|MKCOL|COPY|MOVE)
However, windows doesn’t send requests about folders with the HTTP spec’d trailing slash (”/mydir” vs. “/mydir/”) . Most items in the nginx dav code say to send 409 to DAV operations on
folders if they are missing the slash. Normally, for a human using a web browser, the web server sends a redirect to fix the path to proper spec but if you try to do that to a broken dav client, you get a whole other type of error. If nginx can get a
little more flexible about folders (like apache’s “redirect-carefully”), WinXP should be all set.

I have not tested pandav with svn/git/cadaver/nd ….

that if condition should be:

if ($request_method ~ ^(PROPFIND|OPTIONS|PROPPATCH|LOCK|UNLOCK)$ ){
... }


Also, that webdev.cgi is actually pretty weak, it only does PROPFIND. I’m gonna try libhttp-davserver-perl’s nph-webdav and see if that does a bit more.


location ^~ /git/ {
root /var/www/localhost/htdocs/git;
dav_access user:rw group:r all:r;
dav_methods PUT DELETE MKCOL COPY MOVE;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/localhost/htdocs/git/webdav.cgi;
#http://plan9.aichi-u.ac.jp/netlib/webappls/webdav.cgi
include http/fastcgi/defaults.conf;

if ($request_method = ^(PROPFIND|OPTIONS|PROPPATCH|LOCK|UNLOCK)$ {
fastcgi_pass fastcgi-cgiwrap-local;

}
}


I’ve just tested this with the nd client (http://www.gohome.org/nd/) and it seems to work so far.
