Why do you need a special mechanism for incremental update of collections? You can just work on the collection members--PUT to /foo/bar is an incremental update of /foo/. If you're talking about some way of patching a whole collection at once, I think we've punted the question of diffs (incremental updates) as being a more general problem; httpext should work on diffs before we can apply the technology for patches. -- /=====================================================================\ |John (Francis) Stracke |My opinions are my own.|S/MIME supported | |Software Retrophrenologist|==========================================| |Netscape Comm.
