Could you please expand on the point of how the semantics are different? In writing my proposals I constantly was testing out the use of PUT with a body and PUT with a Source header and I never found myself forced to change anything based solely on that difference. Of course, that is just a limited test case. I would appreciate your insight in the matter. Thanks, Yaron > -----Original Message----- > From: Roy T.
