Subject: target selector again & again


Some DAV methods require a source and target URI (COPY, MOVE, BIND, REPORT, 
etc).

In such methods I propose that the Target-Selector applies to the resolution 
of both source and target URIs equally.


If a user should want to REPORT on different revisions of a versioned 
resource, for example, they must specify at least one of the URIs as a 
revision URI (i.e. through the history resource, as per a previous posting).

i.e.
          REPORT /collection1 HTTP/1.1
          Target-Selector: http://foo.com/workspace/mywksp
          ...
           <D:compare-request>
                 <href>http://foo.com/history/collection1/42</href>
           </D:compare-request>
          ...

means compare the revision of /collection1 selected by 'mywksp' with 
revisionid:42 of the same collection.
