<< I think a key point is the one Greg made at the end of this message, namely that this use case can be achieved without allowing etags in the If header. In particular, you just try the PUT with the LOCK request, and if that fails because you no longer have the lock, you retry the PUT with the appropriate etag in an If-Match header. I think it is very reasonable to require an extra round trip in an exceptional case like this (i.e. losing your lock). >> Or depending on your purpose, just skip directly to the second step of using the If-Match header. It depends on what you're trying to achieve. ------------------------------------------ Phone: 914-784-7569, ccjason@us.ibm.com
