Hi Igor, appreciate all the help you have provided. I think we shall need to leave it within the server section; which is a pity as it will apply to every URI eg:
http://www.xyz.com/contacts
http://www.xyz.com/dav
where it would have been great for it to only apply to /dav; but the literal location contains lots and lots of directives and I would hate to duplicate them all into a separate location block.
