WebDAV client gives transfer error when switching to subdirectory when connecting to Apache with mod_dav: http status code 200

I could reproduce the issue and found a workaround. It seems to be a problem with how Apache redirects requests for directories that don't end in a slash ("/").

In my Apache config, I found this comment:

# The following directives disable redirects on non-GET requests for
# a directory that does not include the trailing slash.  This fixes a
# problem with several clients that do not appropriately handle
# redirects for folders with DAV methods.
#
BrowserMatch "Microsoft Data Access Internet Publishing Provider" redirect-carefully
BrowserMatch "MS FrontPage" redirect-carefully
BrowserMatch "^WebDrive" redirect-carefully
BrowserMatch "^WebDAVFS/1.[0123]" redirect-carefully
BrowserMatch "^gnome-vfs/1.0" redirect-carefully
BrowserMatch "^XML Spy" redirect-carefully
BrowserMatch "^Dreamweaver-WebDAV-SCM1" redirect-carefully


As soon as I added the following line it worked with Textastic, too:

BrowserMatch "^Textastic" redirect-carefully

If you add this line to your Apache config, Textastic should be able to connect without problems.

Any plans on a client fix?  I have this same error, but I do not own the server, so I cannot change any apache config files.

Yes, this is on my todo list.

Awesome.  Thanks for the reply.
