Should it be 423 locked? 412 pre-condition failed. And is it different if its a PUT/MKCOL/DELETE vrs a MOVE/COPY?? 2) Section 9.6 "...If the Overwrite Header is not included in a COPY/MOVE request then the resource MUST treat the request as if it had an overwrite header of value 'T'". This seems backwards to me (in fact I had it coded the otherway until yesterday), since the overwrite will do a DELETE, is it not safer to assume a header of "F"??? 3) MOVE/COPY to a destination that is locked. 8.10.5 states "... a successful DELETE of a resource MUST cause all of its locks to be removed." and 8.8.4 states that overwrite set to T will do a DELETE.... Then will the LOCK on the destination be lost?? This seems wrong to me. If the destination is LOCKED, then after a MOVE/COPY which might delete the resource, I would assume the resource is still locked. 4) I assume that a null resource can be created via a URL with a trailing slash and one without. If I create one with a trailing slash, can I only do a MKCOL later? If no trailing slash is sent, the server probably needs to assume that the client might have just not sent the slash and allow a MKCOL or a PUT. I think the spec should state that a NULL RESOURCE can be created with a trailing slash or not, AND any NULL RESOURCE can take a MKCOL or PUT. (You already messed up some of the beauty of my server with Null Resources, I would hate to put even more if statements in to handle the above....) Thanks, Kevin
