This extension to the HTTP protocol allows creating, moving,
copying, and deleting resources and collections on a remote web
server.

Use the <CODE>DavLockDB</CODE> directive to specify the full path to the
lock database, excluding an extension. The default (file system)
implementation of mod_dav uses a SDBM database to track user locks.
used from the server to display all locks in a lock database.<P>

When a client requests a DAV resource lock, it can also specify a time
when the lock will be automatically removed by the server. This value
is only a request, and the server can ignore it or inform the client
of an arbitrary value.<P>
Use the <CODE>DavMinTimeout</CODE> directive to specify, in seconds,
the minimum lock timeout to return to a client. Microsoft Web Folders
defaults to a timeout of 120 seconds; the <CODE>DavMinTimeout</CODE>
can override this to a higher value (like 600 seconds) to reduce the chance
of the client losing the lock due to network latency.<P>

Use the <CODE>DavDepthInfinity</CODE> directive to allow the processing
of PROPFIND requests containing the header 'Depth: Infinity'.
Because this type of request could constitute a denial-of-service attack,
by default it is not allowed.
