How would I edit MS office document with WebDAV without OPTIONS Method

I implemented own webDAV server by using Apache Tomcat 8 for edit Word and Excel. It worked fine. But due to some security issues so I had to turn off HTTP OPTIONS Method. As a result, it can only be used in read-only mode.

Is it possible to turn off HTTP OPTIONS Method but can still edit the document?

Thank you.

Solution

  • Unfortunately no, OPTIONS is the way Microsoft Office determines whether a document is a WebDAV document.

    Can you explain what security issues you were having with OPTIONS?
