Back in May 2000, there was a discussion at <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-dist-auth/2000AprJun/0005.html> of how extend was defined in the DAV header definition: DAV = "DAV" ":" "1" ["," "2"] ["," 1#extend] The consensus of that thread seemed to be that extend should be defined: extend = Coded-URL | token However, the issue is still listed as an open issue. Why did I bring this up? Because I finally found an Apache 2.0 server I could test against to determine why our WebDAV client gave read-only access to those servers. The problem was caused by a combination of the Coded-URL in the DAV Header from the Apache 2 server and a bug in our code that handles DAV headers. To fix this problem, I need to handle the DAV header correctly. To handle it correctly, I need extend to be defined. At this point, I guess I'll write my code to handle extend as defined above. However, it would be nice if this issue could be closed so that I don't have to worry about someone else throwing something new into the DAV header in the future that my code can't handle. - Jim
