Given that the default configuration of mod_dav prevents a Depth:infinity PROPFIND, I'd guess that a rejection of Depth:infinity is a definite possibility. What does GoLive do when it gets the rejection? Do you simply skip that feature, send a bunch of Depth:1 requests, or something else? Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/
