AW: Use lighttpd instead of mogstored

[Brad Fitzpatrick]

The solution is much easier:  999/1000 of the time the directory will
statistically already exist.  So just assume it's there & upload.  If you
get an error, create the directories, and then re-PUT.

I'll work on this.  Maybe you can save me time and show me the TCP dump of
a DAV directory creation operation?

So I will be endup with creating the directories on every request which is real a bad solution (performance). So my patch is much more easier. Or you will implement that you also know which directory is created on which client(mogstored).
