Maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't a PUT + Range be exactly symmetric to GET? The range information would specify which range to replace (If multiple ranges, you'd have to transmit a Multipart message to contain the ranges). This would be very useful for updating parts of large objects. I don't have much against forbidding it given we've not thought it through significantly, for 1.1, but wonder if we should be that draconian. This does beg the question of what DELETE + Range should do; probably best to say it is illegal. Any other opinions? - Jim
