Subject: Allow the typical non-DAV methods to be unrestricted
X-Git-Tag: 2.3.0~2150
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=86319c427decd99903aa849eb61f4881d6429602;p=thirdparty%2Fapache%2Fhttpd.git

Allow the typical non-DAV methods to be unrestricted
in our DAV examples (in particular, POST).  Also
change <Location> to <Directory> in the docs.  This
particular example was not a security problem because
<Location> was being used to *extend* access, rather than
to *restrict* access, but it is better to encourage
people to use <Directory> by default.
