Here you have an example for a WebDAV configuration in Apache.
Make sure that the modules dav_module, dav_fs_module and dav_lock_module are loaded.
See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_dav.html, http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_dav_fs.html and http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_dav_lock.html for more information.

Make sure that the Apache user (e.g. wwwrun) has sufficient permissions on above WebDAV directory /tmp/test/jade.
<span style="color:red;">It is strongly recommended that you configure all Apache ErrorDocument to default
in the WebDAV location or you remove all ErrorDocument in the httpd.conf.</span>
If you send a file with JADE to an Apache WebDAV server then JADE checks wether the target file already exists.
If the target file doesn't exist then the Apache WebDAV server response the ErrorDocument 404 in addition to the HTTP Status 404.
If the ErrorDocument 404 points e.g. to /error/HTTP_NOT_FOUND.html.var then the answer of the Apache takes much longer (~1 minute).
