Hi. I'm new to the list, so excuse me if my question is dumb.
I've read the latest spec (draft-ietf-atompub-protocol-06) nd most of the older versions: "8.2 Entry Collections Entry Collections are collections that restrict their membership to Atom Entries." [...] "8.2.1 Role of Atom Entry Elements During Editing The elements of an Atom Entry Document are either a client writable or server controlled." So why does the spec mandate the HTTP PUT method for updating Atom Entries? The HTTP spec defines (HTTP 9.6): "The PUT method requests that the enclosed entity be stored under the supplied Request-URI.". In my understanding this means that a GET after a PUT will return exactly the same body. But if the server modfies some of the XML elements (because they are server controlled) this is no longer true. Thanks, Olli -- og
