There is a DAV property called DAV:lockdiscovery which contains a DAV:activelock element which contains, among other things, a DAV:owner field describing the owner of the lock. The WebDAV spec does not define the content of the DAV:owner element, it only suggests that it should describe the owner of the lock in some way that another user could contact the owner. Unfortunately, there is no element in DAV:activelock that specifies the actual princapal that took out the lock. I believe this is a bug that requires all clients to maintain their lock tokens in some other redundant repository. This issue has been open for over a year. I hope it gets addressed and resolved as part of the ongoing effort to clarify WebDAV locking semantics and protocol.

The response then is 423 Locked. But, is there any way for the client to know who owns the lock? I would like the response to look something like this : 421 Locked Date: ... Server: ... Connection: ... LockOwner : user LockDate : date LockType : exclusive LockedUntil : date // if specified when locked Comments? /Rickard
