I don't know what the status of the registry is now, but it was supposed to be IANA. The holdback was the lack of a registration process [meaning the lack of a volunteer with enough free time to write that boring task]. Larry might know the current state. Why don't you just respond with the status code of the first error, since otherwise you will need a 5xx as well. 207 is completely lame (and yes I did make a stink of it at the time). HTTP doesn't specify the contents of the message body -- a multi-response could have just as easily been done as 200/201 with a special media type specific to webdav. The client already knows it is performing a webdav action and intermediaries know it isn't cacheable (because of the method), so a parallel set of status codes isn't necessary. ....RoyReceived on Friday, 24 January 2003 18:16:01 GMT
