They need to deal with the situation anyway? It changed and they need to update the data. The earlier they get changes by "others" the better, ideally in the PUT response (yes, it doesn't even need to be the case that the server modified the resource if the etag changes, it could have been a different client). Existing deployed servers assume that they do that. I don't think that one or the other has an "advantage" here :-) Greets, Helge -- Helge Hess http://docs.opengroupware.org/Members/helge/
