Syntax
Attributes and Elements
The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and parent elements.
Attributes
Attribute |
Description |
||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
defaultAccess |
Optional flags attribute. Specifies the default access settings for WebDAV authoring. These values combined with a logical OR operation, so "None, Read" = "Read." Note Source access allows a WebDAV client to request the contents of a script-mapped file, such as an ASP.NET or PHP file, as opposed to the processed output of the file. The default value is None.
|
||||||||||
allowNonMimeMapFiles |
Optional Boolean attribute. true if WebDAV requests should be allowed for files that are not defined in the MIME map; otherwise, false. For example, files that are script-mapped are not defined in the MIME map, but Web authors may still need to edit these files, which are not allowed in IIS requests by default. When set to true, the WebDAV module will accept requests for files that are not included in the MIME map. When set to false, the module will require that all files are found in the MIME map and return a "404.3 – MIME map policy prevents this request" error for any request that does not match the MIME list. The default value is false. |
||||||||||
defaultMimeType |
Optional string attribute. Specifies the default MIME type for files that do not have an explicit MIME type defined. The default value is application/octet-stream. |
