Other commenters? > Will servers actually implement this? <http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-reschke-webdav-locking-latest.html#method.preconditions.and.postconditions> makes this a "MUST" level requirement. Realistically, we may want to make that a SHOULD, because it may be hard for some servers to implement that (on the other hand we *do* want them to implement the more important changes such as DAV:lockroot). And after all, no big harm is done when it's not returned. Feedback appreciated. Julian -- <green/>bytes GmbH -- http://www.greenbytes.de -- tel:+492512807760
