The current port of Lighttpd 1.4.13 (FreeBSD 6.1) doesn't support WebDAV. I'm not sure why the port has been left like this. Any way I applied this patch to the port and did some quick testing and it all seemed to work with MacOSX and Windows clients.

make config install clean

select WebDAV and sit back and watch. There is one glitch though. If you already have e2fsprogs-libuuid installed it may fail (I'm pretty sure I haven't patched the file correctly). Just make uninstall e2fsprogs-libuuid and run make install on lighttp again and it should all work. Now you've got lighttp with WebDAV on freebsd.

I've emailed the port maintainer to offer the patch. Ill update this if something changes.

Update: changed the diff format to unified
