I know our server will not answer questions like this on stable URL's,
i.e. workspace revision selection is done only on user URL space, not on
the
stable URL space (which are really just database id's).
<tim/>I'm surprised that this is not part of the normal processing for a
server, to resolve the URL to a versioned resource, then figure out which
revision of that versioned resource is selected by a workspace. Given that
the versioned resource has a stable URL, resolving to the versioned
resource via a stable URL would be 'easier' (i.e., just a database id
look-up).
So you'd have to bind that resource somewhere into the user namespace
before you could ask the question.
We could provide a mechanism for finding out what user URL
in a particular workspace is currently mapped to the versioned resource
identified by a particular stable URL.
This is probably a REPORT, since it is not naturally
a property of any particular resource. Should we provide such a REPORT?
<tim/> No thanks<g>
