I will be setting up a “server” for webdav access. Basically for SSL  
session caching only, not much else but that and proxy back to the  
actual app server.

Do I need the webdav and the ngx-dav-ext-module to support all the  
WEBDAV http methods just to pass-thru? Or are those modules just needed  
if I want to filter and/or parse the http traffic?

Thanks,  
AJ

These module are only needed if you want nginx to handle webdav  
requests by itself. You don’t need them to proxy requests to an  
upstream server.
