Hey Geoff... Could you make an explicit proposal as to how the spec should change? BTW... I don't care if the server choses to do this or not. I doubt refreshing the lock creates a functional problem since I doubt a client would be written to wait for a time out and choke if it didn't unlock the resource. OTOH, I don't see the point in encouraging servers to refresh the lock either. If a server developer/administrator discovers a reason that this refreshing policy is good, they can use it, but we don't need to encourage it since it might be pointless and costly. So my recommendation would be to silent on this... or perhaps somehow express flexibility. Anyway, perhaps you could suggest what change to 2518 you'd like... :-) J. ------------------------------------------ Phone: 914-784-7569, ccjason@us.ibm.com
