You don't know that the specific new.txt will generate new URIs, it was just an example. Of course you need to do the same If-None-Match: * iterations as usual. And yes, of course new.txt is a very bad choice, high potential for conflict. Most CalDAV/CardDAV client would start with the UID of the item and then proceed. Again: why is POST a bad choice? Because a client using POST wouldn't be able to create items in a regular WebDAV server. The suggestion has very bad downgrade behaviour. IMHO it has very little chance for adoption. But anyways, I don't think this thread will lead anywhere, as usual ..., I'll quit :-) Well, actually it gave (me) one new insight, so it apparently _was_ worth the annual PUT-redirect posting :-) A 307+Location is apparently accepted by everyone (?) as a method for producing server generated URLs in a HTTP compliant way. (might be a little harder for the server and client, but its a starting point). Thanks, Helge -- Helge Hess http://zideone.com/
