However, as the authors agree that this should be rejected, we will change the status accordingly. Seemingly, this erratum would benefit from a note to explain why it’s been rejected. Is this note below from Roy sufficient to explain why the erratum has been rejected? If not, would you please provide one? > > A method is applied to a resource to have an effect that results in a response. Any web search on "method applied" will show you that it is quite common in standard English.

Here, "invoked" would be close and “granted" would be specific to 401, but it really doesn't matter at all > > Thanks, > RFC Editor/cs Yes, I believe "A method is applied to a resource to have an effect that results in a response. Any web search on "method applied" will show you that it is quite common in standard English. The request has already been processed, at least partially, in order to make a decision that resulted in a 401 error" is a good explanation. Best regards, Julian
