A quick look at the mod_dir code shows two problems.

The first is there is no way to switch mod_dir off - you add the module =
that means "on". If you need the module "on" in one virtual host, but =
"off" in another you're stuffed.

The second is that the module seems to want to respond to all methods, =
GET, POST, PROPFIND, etc when in theory it should only respond to GET.

In theory, if there was a way to switch mod_dir off in directory we =
could avoid the second problem in a dav virtual host.

Graham
