From: Peter Raymond [mailto:Peter.Raymond@merant.com] Another issue which was raised at the London IETF was what would happen if the CHECKIN failed perhaps because forking properties would disallow it? The protocol currently states that the CHECKIN is a postcondition of the UNLOCK, which means the UNLOCK MUST fail if the checkin cannot succeed. I'll add a note to this section to indicate that this applies both to an explicit UNLOCK as well as to an implicit unlock resulting from the lock timing out. And also I raised a question asking if a more explicit error code should be returned when an If header specifies a lock which has timed-out rather than an invalid lock, I believe that at the moment a client cannot tell the difference. I'll comment on this in a note to the WebDAV mailing list, since this is a WebDAV question, rather than a DeltaV question. Cheers, Geoff
