If I want to compare the value of two properties of two different resource I can use of propfind method two times, as two seperate requests. Now, consider we want to compare a value of especial property of a resource in a collection with the value of the same property(or something else) of resources in other collections. In this case you should use many propfind method to compare value of our given property with the value of the properties in all other resources in different collection. However, if we were allowed to have more than a collection in DAV:from , we would able to handle it in one request. Unfortunately, still I don't know wether we are allowed to use of more than one collection in DAV:from and indeed use of different properties of different resources in DAV:where or not. Could you please let me know about it, or if I am wrong in the way of thinking please tell me know. Especially I need this matter to work on my project and still I am stuck because of it. Any pointer is appriciated. Thanks indeed, Bita.
