If the state of the resource to which the header is applied does not match any of the specified state lists then the request MUST fail with a 412 (Precondition Failed). If one of the described state lists matches the state of the resource then the request may succeed." I would say that the server must return a 412 (so partial execution/success of the request is not an option). Best regards, Julian
