I believe in our implementation, the property is writable. The server will save the Content-type included with a PUT, but a client can also change that value later (via PROPPATCH) without having to retransmit the whole resource.

Shouldn't the server save the value of the Content-Type: that came in on the PUT? -- /======================================================================\ |John (Francis) Stracke |My opinions are my own.| S/MIME supported | |Software Retrophrenologist|===========================================| |Netscape Comm.
