Cherokee and WebDAV

All,

I'm presently trying to host a WebDAV application behind Cherokee (reverse proxy) and communication works, except that the WebDAV client needs to send an 'If header' and this header is seemingly being dropped within Cherokee.  This page: http://www.webdav.org/specs/rfc2518.html#rfc.section.9.4.5 mentions this is the expected behaviour of HTTP for non-understood headers, but is there some way to allow Cherokee to recognise this header and prevent it from being dropped?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Cherokee and WebDAV

In case anyone was curious about the status of this support for a HTTP reverse proxied WebDAV client in Cherokee, the recent fixed I've made with regards to HTTP method handling take care of this.  The issue was that various methods -- see https://github.com/cherokee/webserver/commit/e6d7fa953822f7f7747c3a1324301f17dba7219a for details on which were affected (there were quite a few WebDAV-related methods) -- weren't configured to accept request bodies.  So, headers would be received and processed by Cherokee, but not the body.  This lead to my back-end application being confused as it was only receiving part of the expected request. 

This fix is now in the latest version of Cherokee on GitHub and Cherokee has a QA test to check this in future.
