For instance, when discussing the behaviour of DAV:getlastmodified (see previous mail) we'd be able to point to this description and say "this is what many people expect DAV:getlastmodified does, but it doesn't". Regarding how to proceed: we probably would be able to implement this property relatively soon. It would be interesting to hear from the Apache/moddav people (Greg?), though... An alternative approach would be to start a separate document that contains all the new things we'd like to see in WebDAV++, but currently don't want to put into RFC2518bis. This document could also serve as new home for an updated description of DAV:source, for instance. Julian -- <green/>bytes GmbH -- http://www.greenbytes.de -- tel:+492512807760
