It's some time ago that somebody asked how servers implement this today. I finally got around to write a test case (attached JScript), including 1) using a no-tag list If header, 2) using a tagged If header, specifying the lock root and 2) using a tagged If header, specifying the indirectly locked resource. Results: IIS5: does not support depth infinity locks on collections SAP EP 5.x: allows all combinations Xythos Webfile Server (current version from www.sharemation.com): allows all combinations, but seems to loose the timeout upon lock refresh Apache2.0.50/mod_dav: *crashes*, see <http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31183> So I'd propose to wait what the Apache/mod_dav developers have to say. Right now it seems that servers do not seem to care. Best regards, Julian -- <green/>bytes GmbH -- http://www.greenbytes.de -- tel:+492512807760
