Nginx/Webdav/Put - Content-Range support

I have installed WebDav extensions (--with-http_dav_module,nginx-dav-ext-module) for Nginx, and now I can write, read files using this protocol.

But I need to write data part by part with PUT method, I've found that I can use Content-Range header for this, but I can't find any extension for Nginx to work with Content-Range.

How can I achieve this? Any suggestions?

I can't read data from server and append new data to current and then write it (data is too big).

Using Content-Range for PUT is explicitly forbidden by the HTTP standard, and a really bad idea.

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7231#section-4.3.4

I wrote a simple specification that allows you to append data:

http://sabre.io/dav/http-patch/

But it does mean that you need to run sabre/dav, and not nginx's webdav module.
