unable to copy dot prefixed files to Apache powered WebDAV shares

[Ali, Saqib]

Hello All,

I am running Apache/2.0.52  on RedHat Enterprise Linux 4.0. I have
WebDAV enabled on certain directories and I am able to read/write
regular files in the WebDAV shares.

However if I try to upload a file that has a filename prefixed with a
dot (e.g: .temp .pine etc) the upload fails. And I just get a 500
error in the access logs and no info in the error logs.

Has anyone experienced this issue?

Thanks
