+<A HREF="http://www.webdav.org">WebDAV</A> ('Web-based
+Distributed Authoring and Versioning') functionality for Apache.
+This extension to the HTTP protocol allows creating, moving,

+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>
