Allow File Extension Filtering

Specifies whether request filtering settings for file name extensions will apply to WebDAV requests.

Important

If Allow File Extension Filtering is set to True, WebDAV requests for files with file name extensions that are blocked by request filtering will be denied. For example, you may not be able to edit a file that has a *.config file name extension if you set Allow File Extension Filtering to True and .config is in the list of file name extensions that are denied.

Allow Hidden Segment Filtering

Specifies whether request filtering settings for hidden segments will apply to WebDAV requests.

Important

If Allow Hidden Segment Filtering is set to True, WebDAV requests for file segments that are blocked by request filtering settings will be denied. For example, you may not be able to edit files in the App_Code or Bin folders of a Web site if you set Allow Hidden Segment Filtering to True.

Allow Verb Filtering

Specifies whether request filtering settings for HTTP verbs will apply to WebDAV requests.

Important

If Allow Verb Filtering is set to True, WebDAV requests with HTTP verbs that are blocked by request filtering will be denied. For example, you may not be able to edit a file if you set Allow Verb Filtering to True and you configure request filtering to block access to WebDAV verbs such as PROPFIND or PUT.
