WebDAV clients usually aren't interested in the response bodies for successful PUT/DELETE requests; for them what matters is just the status code. I know of WebDAV servers that simply sent empty response bodies, but also some which send a small "status" message in HTML format (I think this is the case for Apache/mod_dav). So sending additional data is almost harmless; except when it makes the protocol inefficient. For instance, echoing the the representation in a PUT response would be very bad for everything but small payloads. Does this help? Best regards, Julian
