Mark, Thank you for reading the specification, and for pointing out this status code conflict. We based the status codes on the rev-00 version of the HTTP spec., and submitted our -05 specification before the rev-01 HTTP version was submitted. But, since obviously the HTTP working group has first dibs on the status code name space, we'll definitely have to change the status codes in the -06 revision of the WebDAV specification. Also, I noticed that the PEP draft, which is being recommended for experimental, uses the 420 and 421 status codes, so we'll rewrite the draft around these as well. > Also, in Section 8.2.4, one of the status codes returned is "405 Conflict" > although status code 405 is supposed to mean "Method Not Allowed". > It should be changed to "409 Conflict" or "405 Method Not Allowed". Yeah, this is a bug -- it should be 409 Conflict. - Jim
