FreeBSD Apache-2.4 and WebDAV

[James B. Byrne]

Does anyone know why this prevents WebDAV from working?

LoadModule dir_module             libexec/apache24/mod_dir.so

If I disable this one module, which is enabled in the sample
configuration file, then WebDAV works fine.  Otherwise I get this
error:

open http://192.168.216.107/hll_dav/upload
Connection to `192.168.216.107' closed.
Authentication required for WebDAV Restricted on server
`192.168.216.107':

Ignored error: /hll_dav/upload/ not WebDAV-enabled:
405 Method Not Allowed
dav:/hll_dav/upload/? ls
Listing collection `/hll_dav/upload/': failed:
405 Method Not Allowed

With this one change to the httpd.conf file:

#LoadModule dir_module             libexec/apache24/mod_dir.so

I get this result:

open http://192.168.216.107/hll_dav/upload
Connection to `192.168.216.107' closed.
Authentication required for WebDAV Restricted on server
`192.168.216.107':

dav:/hll_dav/upload/>ls
Listing collection `/hll_dav/upload/': succeeded.
. . .

Is there any explanation for this behaviour?
