If not, this question is merely an aesthetic quibble (:-). Yes there is a client that handles those responses quite differently. The Mac OS X WebDAV file system client translates 507 to ENOSPC (No space left on device) which is interpreted by most Macintosh applications to mean the device is full; the WebDAV file system translates 413 as a generic 4xx response to EINVAL (Invalid argument) which is interpreted by most Macintosh applications to mean "something wasn't right - who knows what?" The Mac OS X WebDAV file system client is one of the few clients actually using quotas today and has been for over 1-1/2 years now. Jim Luther Apple Computer, Inc.
