Subject: DAV:auto-version
3.2.4 DAV:auto-version
Sentence one.
I know that I've lobbied for this unsuccessfully before, but...
I would strike out the words 'without a Target-Selector header' since I
don't see that it is relevant. It should just work.
<geoff>
When a client uses a Target-Selector header, it means that they are
aware of versioning, which means they should know that a versioned
resource should be checked out before it is modified. So I think that
it would be better to make this an error.
</geoff>
Just because my client is aware of versioning doesn't mean that it should
be excluded from some of these conveniences. If bandwidth is low I may
well much prefer a single round trip to do a CHECKOUT-PUT-CHECKIN
equivalent.
