discovering the root of a deep lock from Julian Reschke on 2002-07-10 (w3c-dist-auth@w3.org from July to September 2002) (original) (raw)

(see also issue LOCKS_SHOULD_THEY_USE_AN_IF_HEADER_TO_VERIFY)

Proposed syntax:

12.1 activelock XML Element

Name: activelock Namespace: DAV: Purpose: Describes a lock on a resource.

12.1.x lockroot XML Element

Name: lockroot Namespace: DAV: Purpose: For locks with depth infinity, servers SHOULD report the root of the lock using the DAV:lockroot element. This enables clients to know the scope of resources affected by a subsequent UNLOCK with the given lock token. For lock with depth 0, the DAV:lockroot element MUST NOT be present.

Note: I made it a "SHOULD" in order not to break existing implementations.
