http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38034 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-12-21 12:15 ------- The patch proposed by Simon Perreault only treats the bug in "If-None-Match: *", but the same bug is in "If-Match: *" and must be fixed too. >> Is this an assumption we want to make? >I'm not qualified to provide advice on that question. But please note that the >patch can easily be modified if this assumption turns out not to be valid. So >the only thing preventing this bug from being closed is making this decision. Evaluation of "If-Match: *" and "If-None-Match: *" depends on whether the resources does *exist*. I do not know, whether checking for the existence of an Etag is equivalent to checking for the existence of the resource. But if you want to do it this way, you must *know*. I am worrying about the idea of making a decision about making an *assumption*. >This bug is not specific to WebDAV! If-None-Match is a pure HTTP construct and >as such fixing this bug should not touch mod_dav. This is true, and it is wrong. Most applications seem not to use "If-None-Match: *" and "If-Match: *" and will therefore not be affected by this bug. But these conditionals are essential for WebDAV. So - it would be *nice* to have a clean and general solution - it is *necessary* to fix that bug for WebDAV. As it is, a WebDAV-client can either work reliable or work with Apache. These two options are exclusive.
