If http://foo/bar/baz.cgi is a CGI script, then http://foo/bar/baz.cgi/quux.html is a perfectly legal URI as far as the protocol's concerned. If descendants of DAV collections must be DAV, then baz.cgi must implement all DAV methods in order for quux.html to be compliant. Of course, the server's DAV implementation can provide helper code for baz.cgi to use, but it could still get pretty nasty. -- /====================================================================\ |John (Francis) Stracke |My opinions are my own.|S/MIME supported | |Software Retrophrenologist|=========================================| |Netscape Comm.
