I like it! (I believe it should "405" rather than "501" though.) For supported reports, how about just adding a DAV:supported-report precondition to the REPORT method? Then we can say: "A report is supported if the response to a REPORT request for that report is not 403 with a DAV:supported-report error token". Now how about properties? 2518 only defines a 404 (not found) value, so we would have to extend that. Unfortunately, we probably shouldn't use 405, since that's defined as "Method Not Allowed". Probably best to just add a DAV:supported-property precondition to the PROPFIND method? Then we can say: "A live property is supported if the response to a PROPFIND request for that property is not 403 with a DAV:supported-property error token". How does this sound to everyone else (both the general approach, and the specifics)? I assume nobody wants to support my original approach (I sure don't :-). Cheers, Geoff -----Original Message----- From: Lisa Dusseault [mailto:lisa@xythos.com] What about 'A method is supported if the server is not going to return a "501 Not Implemented" whenever the method is received for that resource.' There could be similar wordings for live-property and report, based on whether the server will succeed or fail a request for that property/report. lisa
