Frank, essentially what you're saying is that quotas are a good thing. I don't think anybody disagrees. As a matter of fact, some WebDAV servers indeed support quotas (for instance, the Xythos server or (I think) Apple's IDisk server). The discussion that we're currently having is how a server can *expose* quota information to the client. This has little to do with actually *enforcing* the quota (as the current implementations show). All this new protocol is supposed to add is - an interoperable way for clients to find out about their quota situation - and possibly a way to modify quotas from the client (although it seems to be hard to define an interoperable way to do that) Regards, Julian -- <green/>bytes GmbH -- http://www.greenbytes.de -- tel:+492512807760
