Possibly 403 which in 2518 for COPY means "_ The source and >destination URIs are the same." Unfortunately, I think it is pretty clear that the source and destination URIs are not the same; the resource to which they are bound is the same. Some other error condition (4xx "Source and target bound to the same resource"?) seems more appropriate to me. regards, Ted
