How does BIND modify the destination? This seems like the one case where
the destination workspace and override-selector headers would be needed the
most.
A BIND is just like a MOVE, except you don't delete the request-URL.
So the request-URL remains unchanged (i.e. is still bound to the same
resource), but the Destination URL becomes bound to the same resource as
the request-URL. Just like COPY, you can use an Overwrite header to
indicate how BIND should deal with the case where the Destination URL
currently identifies a resource.
Cheers,
Geoff
