Thanks for recommendation. I do not need RewriteRules more for that :-)

So solution looks like:

[/var/www]:$ ln -s . webdav

<VirtualHost localhost:443>
        <Location  />
                ...
        <Location /webdav>
                DAV On
                AuthType Basic
                AuthUserFile   ...
                AuthGroupFile ...
                require group webdav
        </Location>
</VirtualHost>


But this solution is just partial.
I have to create symlink webdav (for example) again otherwise users
have to use authorization even for just browsing (https://localhost).

The symlink resolves the users that want to upload through webdav and
the ones that only want to  browse the web.
