Perhaps I'm a bit late with my comment but I just now read Jim's suggestions. Especially the MULTIPUT feature is one that I missed very very much when I recently read RFC2518 and tried to map the functionality of our systems to WebDAV. I think MULTIPUT is vital for many scenarios and it is quite easy to implement on the server side but extremely hard if not impossible on the client side. Please, please add this feature to WebDAV. I'm sure its desperately needed. And many thanks to Jim for triggering this. Regards, Herbert -----Original Message----- From: Jim Whitehead [mailto:ejw@cse.ucsc.edu] Sent: Montag, 29. Oktober 2001 21:14 To: WebDAV Subject: Ideas: GETSRC & MULTIPUT I'm interested in the list's thoughts on two ideas for DAV improvements: The first is to introduce a GETSRC method to support access to the unprocessed source of a resource. This would decouple the dynamic response of a resource (GET) from its static source (GETSRC). The second is to introduce the MULTIPUT method to support "PUT with PROPPATCH" scenarios. MULTIPUT would accept some subset of multipart MIME packages and atomically write them to the server. This would support the update of a resource and its metadata in one transaction. - Jim
