There are instances when a user would like to get a file from a URL (mp3, word doc, etc) that is not on a Webdav Server (or one that does not allow for cross server Copies). This allows Xythos to go get the file and store it for the user. There are a lot of proprietary extensions out there to do "cross loading" Xythos would like to see a Webdav COPY be the standard, thus we propose adding the "Source" tag so that clients can cause server-server copies across Webdav Servers and/or across a Webdav Server and a HTTP server. This gives flexibility to a Webdav server as it is able to copy resources between machines both as a Source and a Destination.

What does it add that you can't express with Destination:? -- /===============================================================\ |John Stracke | http://www.ecal.com |My opinions are my own. | |Chief Scientist |==============================================| |eCal Corp. |If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn?| |francis@ecal.com| | \===============================================================/
