DAV Properties and HTTP/1.1 Methods (Cont’d)
PUT
- PUT records an arbitrary stream of bytes which are to be returned verbatim in a GET.
- DAV Properties MUST be in a specific format and as servers may record the properties using a specialized property store there is no reasonable expectation that the PUT body would be returned in the same form it was PUT.
- There is also the issue of non-DAV clients doing PUTs to property URIs.
