Yes, this is a mistake left over from an earlier draft. Since 3.1 now says that a referential member has no content, 3.5 needs to be changed to agree with that. The request to create a referential member puts the target's URI in the Ref-Target header, so presumably the response to a GET would have no entity body, but would include the Ref-Target header. --Judy At 04:13 PM 5/29/98 PDT, Jim Whitehead wrote: >Caught by the spam filter (not sure why, I'm looking into it). > >- Jim > >-----Original Message----- >From: John Stracke [mailto:francis@netscape.com] >Sent: Friday, May 29, 1998 3:39 PM >To: WebDAV WG >Subject: [Spam?] GET on a referential member > > >In the WebDAV Collection Protocol Draft just posted, at the end of >section 3.5, I read: > > A GET on a referential member of a collection returns its own > content, which is the URI of its target resource, not the > content of its target resource. > >I'm not sure this is the optimal behavior, because it a non-DAV-aware >client, such as a browser, won't know what to do with the URI as a >content item, which would limit the usefulness of referential members. >Can we perhaps put it into the Location: header instead? > >-- >/======================================================================\ >|John (Francis) Stracke |My opinions are my own. | S/MIME supported | >|Software Retrophrenologist|===========================================| >|Netscape Comm.
