No deep questions - just an observation that came up.
A presentation was given internally here about WebDAV to raise the
awareness of the protocol. Someone asked a question which I did not
have a good answer for.
Since the extended WebDAV commands are not a part of HTTP 1.1, why
do you say
MKCOL /foo/bar HTTP/1.1
Why is it not
MKCOL /foo/bar WebDAV/1.0
A few people were complaining that WebDAV seemed to be "messing up"
the HTTP 1.1 protocol, pretending to be a part of HTTP 1.1, when the
extensions are not a part of the HTTP protocol.
My answer was "thats what the spec says to do".
