The parameter <literal>off</literal> denies all methods processed by this module, ignoring other parameters; </para> <para> A file uploaded with the PUT method is first written to a temporary file, then a file is renamed. Starting from version 0.8.9 temporary files and the persistent store can be put on different file systems but be aware that in this case a file is copied across two file systems instead of the cheap rename operation. It is thus recommended that for any given location both saved files and a directory holding temporary files set by the <link doc="ngx_http_core_module.xml" id="client_body_temp_path"/> directive are put on the same file system. </para> <para> When creating a file with the PUT method, it is possible to specify the modification date by passing it in the <header>Date</header> header field. </para> </directive> <directive name="create_full_put_path"> <syntax><literal>on</literal> | <literal>off</literal></syntax> <default>off</default> <context>http</context> <context>server</context> <context>location</context> <para> The WebDAV specification only allows to create files in already existing directories.

For example, the directive <example> min_delete_depth 4; </example> allows to remove files on requests <example> /users/00/00/name /users/00/00/name/pic.jpg /users/00/00/page.html </example> and denies the removal of <example> /users/00/00 </example> </para> </directive> </section> </module>
