Yes, the DAV:creationdate is the servers idea of the creation date (i.e. when the resource was first created on the server), not some clients idea of the creationdate (this is consistent with how dates in general are handled in HTTP).

I had assumed that this property represented when the file was created, but how am I supposed to tell the server when the creation date was if the property is protected? For example. I created a document a week ago, and it currently resides on my local file system. I decide to place this document on the Web using my favorite protocol, WebDAV, with a PUT. So, how do I (the client) tell the server the original creationdate since I can not do a PROPPATCH? Is there a way send this property value along with the PUT? Or does creationdate represent when my document was created as a WebDav Compliant Resource and reflects the timestamp of the PUT? Thanks, James Woods woodsja@us.ibm.com
