header values from Clemm, Geoff on 2000-05-18 (w3c-dist-auth@w3.org from April to June 2000) (original) (raw)

I'd probably vote for

extend = Coded-URL | token

so that standard DAV defined extensions can be specified in a terse form.

Cheers, Geoff

P.S.:

However, the rule

extend = Coded-URL

should be fine, because the rule

Coded-URL = "<" absoluteURI ">"

implies that, as soon as you have encountered a "<", you can accept as many "," as you find, belonging all to the absoluteURI, until you finally reach a ">". (I suppose that is the reason why people think that the brackets are needed. :-))

Exactly!

All righty then... I'll resubmit my proposal:

extend = "<" absoluteURI ">"

For semantic purposes, I expanded Coded-URL since we will certainly have URI values in there (e.g. DAV:bindings) rather than URLs. In an If: header, the "URL" term makes sense.

Back to my original point, then: does anybody see a problem if I updated mod_dav to use the following DAV: header:

DAV: 1,2,<http://apache.org/dav/0.9.16>

??
