WebDAV should stick to the LOCK behaviour of null-resources, when followed by a PUT. I think there are no interop problems when LOCK->MKCOL is discontinued or when the resource, created by a LOCK on a null-resource, stays after lock timeout. In fact, changing RFC2518 in this way, will make live for server implementors much easier and probably result in more compliant implementations. //Stefan > lisa > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: w3c-dist-auth-request@w3.org > > [mailto:w3c-dist-auth-request@w3.org]On Behalf Of Jason Crawford > > Sent: Monday, July 23, 2001 10:12 AM > > To: Clemm, Geoff > > Cc: WebDAV > > Subject: RE: rfc2518 issue: DEFER_LOCK_NULL_RESOURCES_IN_SPEC > > > > > > > > > > > > I'd like to conclude this issue, but I've not heard any anything > > to suggest > > that we have agreement.
