Retrieving properties (cont’d)
Recommended solution
- change name of SEARCH to PROPGET (or GETPROP or FINDPROP), reserving SEARCH for a more full-powered search facility
- limit the capabilities of PROPGET to retrieving only named properties
- support only a wildcard “*” so that all properties on a resource are retrieved
- helpful if the client doesn’t know the name of all properties defined on the resource
A separate WG will address full-featured search
