Summary of consensus from Jim Whitehead on 2001-04-16 (w3c-dist-auth@w3.org from April to June 2001) (original) (raw)

Let me see if I can summarize the points of consensus on this issue:

Consensus:

• protected (i.e. properties that MUST NOT be modifiable with PROPPATCH) creationdate getcontentlength getetag lockdiscovery supportedlock resourcetype

• not protected (i.e. properties that MUST be modifiable by PROPPATCH) displayname source

Still under discussion:

getlastmodified getcontenttype getcontentlanguage

There are two open issues:

1. Changing get* properties requires the server to perform a property lookup when processing a GET method request, and this is a performance hit for some servers.

2. It is unclear why getlastmodified needs to be writeable.

Let's see if we can resolve these remaining issues over the next 1-2 days, so we can wrap this one up.
