Nginx proxying WebDAV = no love

[Cliff Wells]

I'm experimenting with WebDAV using pywebdav:

http://code.google.com/p/pywebdav/

It appears to work quite well if I connect to it 
directly (using either Nautilus and Cadaver as client).

However, when I attempt to proxy to it via Nginx, 
I get messages that it's not a WebDAV-enabled share.

Here's my nginx.conf:

http {
    include       mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;

    server {
        listen       80;
        server_name  _;

        location / {
            proxy_pass_header Server;
            proxy_set_header  Host $http_host;
            proxy_set_header  X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
            proxy_pass        http://127.0.0.1:8008;
        }
    }
}


Cadaver reports the following (nautilus message isn't too informative):

$ cadaver http://localhost/
Could not access / (not WebDAV-enabled?):
Unknown transfer-coding in response
Connection to `localhost' closed.
dav:!> 


I can see the request reaches pywebdav:

localhost - - [08/Jul/2009 14:10:40] "OPTIONS / HTTP/1.0" 200 -
localhost - - [08/Jul/2009 14:10:40] "PROPFIND / HTTP/1.0" 207 -


Nginx access log shows:

127.0.0.1 - - [08/Jul/2009:14:11:20 -0700] "OPTIONS / HTTP/1.1" 200 0 "-" "cadaver/0.23.2 neon/0.28.2"
127.0.0.1 - - [08/Jul/2009:14:11:20 -0700] "PROPFIND / HTTP/1.1" 207 593 "-" "cadaver/0.23.2 neon/0.28.2"


Nginx error log shows nothing.
