Feature Request: dav_fs impersonation

[Phillip Susi <ps...@cfl.rr.com>]

I would like to set up a shared file server using apache and mod_dav_fs 
to share files with windows and linux clients using the dav protocol 
over an SSL connection that is authenticated using client certificates. 
  The one thing it seems I can not do is get apache to impersonate the 
user when accessing the filesystem so that the user will be using their 
permissions to access the filesystem and not 'www-data'.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

mpm_perchild.

Of course, it's not in a usable state at the moment, and doesn't do what
you are asking, but certainly could be modified to dispatch per-request
to a user-by-auth rather than a user-by-vhost.
