Subject: RE: Stable Href's of collections
The members of a collection revision are the versioned resources
that are bound into that revision of the collection. If you do a
PROPFIND Depth:1 on the stable URL to the collection revision,
you will get a list of stable URL's to each of those versioned
resources, but the binding name of each URL will be name of the
that member.
For example, assuming /repo/vr/id178/rev/id122 is a stable URL for
a revision of a collection, then:
PROPFIND /repo/vr/id178/rev/id122
Depth:1
will return a report with the information:
<href> /repo/vr/id178/rev/id122/foo.html </href>
[requested properties]
<href> /repo/vr/id178/rev/id122/bar.html </href>
[requested properties]
where each of the href's is bound to a versioned resource.
Note that this means that there are multiple bindings to a
versioned resource: a "canonical" one of the form /repo/vr/idxxx,
and additional bindings from each of the collection
revisions that contain that versioned resource.
Cheers,
Geoff

Subject: Stable Href's of collections
I seem to remember that we agreed that deep operations on a collection's
stable Href would return responses in terms of stable Hrefs. Makes sense.
Now, assume that I have a stable Href to a collection and would like to
know the names of the collection's members. Previously I'd have used
PROPFIND depth 1 on some property, and got the answer as a "side-effect",
in the <href> tags. However, stable <href>'s cannot be used to extract the
names.
Hmm,
Tim
