The new methods they have developed to support this are SUBSCRIBE, UNSUBSCRIBE, NOTIFY and POLL, and describe each as being a 'WebDAV method'. Note further that MS has also defined batch versions of COPY, MOVE, DELETE, PROPFIND and PROPPATCH: BCOPY, BMOVE, BDELETE, BPROPFIND and BPROPPATCH. I'm of the opinion that these methods aren't and should not be described as 'WebDAV methods', for the obvious reason that they have not been developed by the IETF WebDAV working group. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what can be done about it either. Elias
