<< The issue isn't tossing allprop, but providing a warning to clients about dealing with expensive computed properties. Removing allprop does not solve the computed problem. Since allprop *is* useful, then there is no reason to remove it. >> I agree with Greg. We can still have this size problem with depth one and depth zero. And FTP's MGET can have a similar problem and we don't hear people complaining about that. Are we being overly concerned? We as authors of the spec can't know if this is a problem in advance either. Sometimes it will be and other times it won't be. Let's just deal with what a client or server can do in situations where they feel it's a problem. So... Is it sufficient for a client to simply disconnect/timeout? Should we have an error code that the server can use if it deems a request too expensive? Or is there some other simple approach? Or should we defer the issue until version 2.0 if it then looks like this truly is a problem? J.Received on Saturday, 28 April 2001 14:07:10 GMT
