I got a copy of Slide from CVS this morning to use the webdav client library in a project I'm working on, and I noticed that neither the Property or ResponseEntity classes (both in the org.apache.webdav.lib package) exposed the DAV:responsedescription element from DAV:multistatus responses. Is this on purpose? I searched through the mailing list archives and found some code within the server that mentions sending the element when a DeltaV precondition fails, but nothing in the client library for inspecting it.
Also, The DTD for RFC 2518 notes it as optional and containing PCDATA within the DAV:multistatus, DAV:response, and DAV:propstat elements, but a check of the DeltaV spec states that it should contain a DAV:error element when a precondition fails; which is contradictory of course. Is this the reason for its absence? Has anyone ever mentioned it on a webdav list? A google search didn't turn anything up for me.
I've added a getResponseDescription() method to my copies of the Property and Response interfaces and written an implementation. I can send them to someone if they'd be helpful. It currently adheres to 2518 though, and returns a String.
best, christian.
