[ this is on-topic for uri@w3.org only in as much as it affects technical decisions re: minting new schemes vs. using media types for dispatch ] A bit more info; After doing some header traces (Thanks, Aaron!), it appears that iCal PUTs the data as 'application/octet-stream', so they're not even trying. They also don't take advantage of persistent connections, but that's a just a nit, relatively. On the server side, it appears that neither Apache mod_put or mod_dav will properly return the Content-Type sent in a PUT. This is probably part of the reason that Apple decided to use a URI scheme for dispatch. I'm not surprised that this is the case with mod_put (and it appears that it isn't a huge effort to get it to do so, via mod_cern_meta; there's also a bug in mod_put in that it needs to issue 201 Created when appropriate). I am somewhat surprised that mod_dav doesn't do the right thing.Received on Thursday, 12 September 2002 15:30:56 UTC
