[Techtalk] WebDAV conundrum

Heya,

This should be simple, but I'm missing something.

Instead of FTP, I want users to be able to use WebDAV for updating their 
website. So I need to figure out a configuration that will allow for 
public GET and POST, but then require a password for DAV access.

I've tried the following, with no success (get DAV access, but can't do 
anything except GET and POST):

<Directory /foo>
   	<LimitExcept POST GET>
        DAV On
        BrowserMatch "^WebDAVFS" redirect-carefully
	 AuthType Basic
        AuthName "Foobar"
        AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/passwd/foofoo
	Require valid-user
	</LimitExcept>
</Directory>

I thought LimitExcept would be the trick. If I don't include 
LimitExcept, everyone has to log in to see the site.

Suggestions?
