Here's a proposal for the issues list: Issue DAV_REQUEST_HEADER RFC 2518 provides a mechanism (the "DAV" response header) for a server to indicate to a client that it supports a specific WebDAV option (e.g. "1", "2", "version-control", etc.), but there is no complementary mechanism for a client to indicate to a server that it understands a specific WebDAV option. This becomes an issue when a WebDAV extension (or revision) needs to change response formats in a way that possibly break existing clients. Detecting client features based on a single, well-defined request header will work better than (for instance) relying on custom headers (specified by each extension) or "User-Agent". Suggested resolution: allow the use of the "DAV" header as a request header, with the same set of values that are defined for the "DAV" response header.
