I was wondering why the Nginx devs do not add WebDAV support for  
PROPFIND and OPTIONS. There is a module available in Github but still, I  
would love to have this officially supported by Nginx:

>
> nginx WebDAV PROPFIND,OPTIONS,LOCK,UNLOCK support. Contribute to arut/nginx-dav-ext-module development by creating an account on GitHub.

Are there any plans to have full WebDAV support implemented? This would  
be a nice addition into 1.3.0 branch.

Regards,

Floren M.

It’s in our TODO, though no ETA yet.

Roman’s implementation is likely ok if you can’t wait, but it  
can’t be imported as is due to number of reasons (the one recently  
reported on russian list: it doesn’t compile on Windows).
