Hello, Late comment on draft-reschke-webdav-post: Browser based applications are not allowed to upload files from the client filesystem by any mean other than using an HTML form containing a file param and an enctype of multipart/form-data. As a consequence, those applications have no way to upload local files to a WebDAV repository using PUT (my knowledge of browser based technologies is rather limited but I have found at least a few references to this limitation). http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-reschke-webdav-post could partially solve this issue by simply allowing a multipart/form-data containing a single subpart to be POSTed. Modifying a resource by uploading it again would still not be possible of course but that can be somehow workarounded. Arnaud Quillaud
