You mean like a "DAV-Enabled" header field? In which case "DAV-Enabled" would appear in the Vary field of the response? A "resource" is a rather malleable concept, and as you've stated here there may be many representations of that resource. I don't see that it would be so horrible to allow the idea that one of the representations of a resource could be its raw source. What representation you receive is a matter of server policy. And some way of identifying that the server is talking to a DAV client would help with managing that policy. cjh --
