Description

WebDAV is a set of extensions to the HTTP protocol that allows users to collaboratively edit and manage files on remote web servers. Many web servers enable WebDAV extensions by default, even when they are not needed. Because of its added complexity, it is considered good practice to disable WebDAV if it is not currently in use.

Solution(s)

  • disable-webdav-iis
  • disable-webdav-apache
  • disable-webdav-tomcat
  • disable-webdav-iplanet
