Hi, section 8.2.1 of RFC 2616 provides information how recipients of 200 Ok responses should interprete the response body (this is at least my understanding of the text of 8.2.1). What is the intended interpretation of the response body in PUT requests? Should the client understand the body to be a representation of the request URI of the PUT request? Or more like "an entity describing or containing the result of the action" like in the case of POST? I looked at draft-ietf-httpbis-p2-semantics-08 and the issues list and both do not seem to address this either. If you feel it is appropriate, I think 8.2.1 should be augmented with an explanatory paragraph for PUT. Jan
