Thanks for all the information on the getlastmodified property. I was thinking about using a custom property to save the modified time myself, however after trying this on several servers. Most of them report a status of "409 (Conflict) - The client has provided a value whose semantics are not appropriate for the property. This includes trying to set read- only properties." Is this error because I haven't been granted access on the server to do a PROPPATCH, or perhaps I haven't formatted the request properly ? I get this error on the Zope test server with an account that was created for me, I also get it on my driveway.com account. On the sharemation account it seems to work fine, I can create my own properties. On the MyDocsOnline server, it actually accepts the proppatch with a status of 200, however when I list all properties with propfind it is not listed. Here is what my request looked like. PROPPATCH /test.txt HTTP/1.1 .... .... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <D:propertyupdate xmlns:D="DAV:"> <D:set> <D:prop> <D:webdrivemodtime>Here is my property value</D:webdrivemodtime> </D:prop> </D:set> </D:propertyupdate> Thanks, John Glavin jglavin@riverfrontsoftware.com > Hi John, > We have similar synchronization (and Dav) software here and have found > that most companies do not (and will not!) support the setting of the > getlastmodified property.
