Default Write-Only WebDAV directory

Hi gurus,

this is what I want to accomplish with Apache 1.3:

I want to use mod_dav to create the server location where users can
put files from their desktops. These files are further processed on
the server. These files can be sensitive, therefore other users should
not see the uploaded files.
It's OK even if the uploaders cannot see their files, once uploaded.
So this could be called "WRITE-ONLY" directory/location.

I wanted to use the Apache directive Limit to
- disable access to HTTP GET
- enable access to HTTP PUT and PROPFIND

I hoped that with these settings users will be able to upload files,
browse directories, but not open files or download them.

I watched the acces_log during unrestricted upload operation and it
seems that
the Microsoft WebFolders client is issuing HEAD, then PUT.

The trouble is that when I disable GET, the HEAD is disabled as well.
When I explicitly enable HEAD, GET is enabled as well.

My Location directive was like this:
<Location /files>
DAV On
<Limit GET>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Limit>
</Location>

Can anyone suggest how to do what I want ?

Thanks
