From: John Hall [mailto:johnhall@evergo.net] If the server supports WORKING-RESOURCE, how does the client know that it also supports CHECKOUT-IN-PLACE (other than trying to do a CHECKOUT on a VCR without <apply-to-version> and getting an undefined error? By checking whether the checkout-in-place feature is supported. Note that WORKING-RESOURCE section #9 says that the OPTIONS must return "working-resource" but is silent on "checkout". How can that be right, when you must use the verb CHECKOUT to use WORKING-RESOURCE? This was why we renamed the "checkout" feature to be the "checkout-in-place" feature. Proposal: 4.5: MUST include "checkout-inplace", "checkin", "checkout". 9.5: MUST include "working-resource", "checkin", "checkout". OK, I see the problem. I missed a spot where "checkout" should have been replaced by "checkout-in-place" (i.e. in section 4.5). I'll fix that. Note that "checkin" is no longer a feature, and that "checkout" was never a feature (they are method names, not features). Cheers, Geoff
