           Summary: LOCK with missing intermediate collection returns 500
                    rather than 409
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.2.3
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: mod_dav
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: proyal@apache.org


per RFC 4918 section 9.10.6, a LOCK request with missing intermediate collections should return a 
409.

with mod_dav 1.0.3, this is correct, in mod_dav.c dav_method_lock, the existence of a parent resource 
is checked and a 409 is returned.

with mod_dav in 2.2.3, a 500 is returned. 

the logs state:

Could not save .locknull file.  [500, #0]
(2)No such file or directory: Error opening /my/non/existent/path/.DAV/.locknull for writing  [500, #0]

looking at mod_dav.c in the 2.2 branch, in dav_method_lock, there is no check for the validity of the 
parent collection after the call to dav_get_resource, and i believe that to be the root cause of this. (I was 
unable to find a return of the HTTP_CONFLICT response code in a situation that appeared to correspond 
to this)
