Question

I have enabled the lighttpd mod_webdav module and set up a webdav mount point of http://website.com/webdav using the following lighttpd.conf entry:

$["remoteip"] == "www.website.com" {
    alias.url += (
       "/webdav" => "/var/www/htdocs/webdav",
    )
    $HTTP["url"] =~ "^webdav($|/)" {
        dir-listing.activate = "enable"
        webdav.activate = "enable"
        webdav.is-readonly = "disable"
        auth.backend = "htpasswd"
        auth.backend.htpasswd.userfile = "/var/www/htdocs/passwd.dav"
        auth.require = ("" => "method" => "basic",
             "realm" => "webdav",
             "require" => "valid-user" ) )
    }
}

This gives the same directory for all webdav users.

However, I would like to make http://website.com/webdav redirect to a particular subdirectory based on the webdav user name.

For example:

  1. user logs in as user1, he/she sees htdocs/webdav/user1 when going to http://website.com/webdav or

  2. user logs in as user2, he/she sees htdocs/webdav/user2 when going to http://website.com/webdav

Can this be done?

Thanks

Solution

Even though HTTP and WebDAV allows it, popular clients don't actually follow redirects. The result is that clients such as the windows client, os/x client can't connect to the url directly..
