Hi there, in the meantime Roy has addressed the main part of the issue, clarifying that conditional request header fields apply to many methods other than GET. I still think it would be good to say more about the default case, though. Right now, the spec says: "The new method ought to describe whether it can be made conditional (Section 5.2) and, if so, how a server responds when the condition is false." -- <http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-ietf-httpbis-p2-semantics-latest.html#considerations.for.new.methods> This invites more special cases. Can't we simply state that *all* new methods can be made conditional, and describe the default behavior for the conditions? Best regards, Julian
