Subject: RE: Extending Target-Selector
Depth infinity operations in the stable namespace would return
stable URL's and depth infinity operations in the user namespace
would return user namespace URL's.
I assume you were talking about depth infinity operations in the
user namespace, so I agree with your assumption that they are user
URL's in the response.
As for Target-Selector, I believe our last agreement was to have two
headers, Revision-Selector and Workspace. The Workspace header affects
version selection for any resource encountered while processing the
request. The Revision-Selector header only
applies to the resource identified by the Request-URL, and if that
resource is a working resource, revision, or versioned resource,
it causes the target of the request to be the specified revision
instead.
So with depth infinity requests, the Revision-Selector header only applies
to the Request-URL, and only the Workspace header applies to all the
resources encountered by the request.
Cheers,
Geoff

Subject: Extending Target-Selector
Do we expect depth infinity operations to return stable URLs or 'users'
URLs.
For example, PROPFIND depth infinity would be difficult to decode if the
URLs were all stable URLs--so I'll assume that they are user URLs in the
response.
Now if you extend Target-Selector to be:
All-But-Leaf-Selector: and
Leaf-Selector:
(we can argue about the names :-)
How do you interpret the results? Do the deep URLs conform to the same
All-But-Leaf-Selector: and Leaf-Selector: selection? That's confusing since
the request-url used to have a leaf at the end, but in the deep operations
it's segments are all 'all-but-leaf' segments. If the dep URLs don't
conform tot he same selection criteria what do they conform to?
