Hi Erik, Yes I have enabled optimistic locking, and the behaviour is as expected (Ie, conflict error when trying to create a document at an existing URI, success otherwise) when I do NOT include the if-match header. If I use the documentation-suggested technique of setting if-match to 0, then conflicts are always returned. My question was whether this is a bug or if the documentation is out of date. I'm mainly concerned about this being flagged as a bug and fixed in the future, and having the rug pulled out from under the application's feet.
