I’m having a problem with the WebDAV implementation I demonstrated below. The server works, but when it creates files, the content is empty.

Files:

```go: main.go

package main

func webdavHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	username, password, ok := r.BasicAuth()
	if !ok {
		w.Header().Set("WWW-Authenticate", `Basic realm="WebDAV"`)
		http.Error(w, "Unauthorized", http.StatusUnauthorized)
		return
	}

	if !PAMAuthenticate(username, password) {
		http.Error(w, "Forbidden", http.StatusForbidden)

	// Get the user's home directory
	userInfo, err := user.Lookup(username)
	if err != nil {
		http.Error(w, "User not found", http.StatusNotFound)
		return
	}

	// webdavPath := userInfo.HomeDir + "/website"
	webdavPath := userInfo.HomeDir

	// Check if the directory exists
	if _, err := os.Stat(webdavPath); os.IsNotExist(err) {

	}
	/*

	uid, gid, err := GetUserData(username)

	handler.ServeHTTP(w, r)
}

	fmt.Println("WebDAV server running on :8800")
	http.HandleFunc("/", webdavHandler)
	// This binds to 127.0.0.1
