Hi,
in Section 2.3 we say:
"...If because of multiple bindings to a resource, more than one source
resource updates a single destination resource, the order of the updates
is server defined." --
<
http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-ietf-webdav-bind-23.html#rfc.section.2.3.p.4>
Alexey mentioned that it would be useful to have an example for this
particular case.
This issue is tracked as
<
http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-ietf-webdav-bind-issues.html#issue.ex-copy-multiple-update>,
and for now I have add the example below:
-- snip --
2.3.2. Example: COPY updating multiple Bindings
Given the following collection hierarchy:
+------------------+
| Root Collection |
| bindings: |
| CollX CollY |
+------------------+
/ \
/ \
/ \
+--------------------------+ +-----------------+
| Collection C1 | | Collection C2 |
| bindings: | | bindings: |
| x.gif y.gif | | x.gif y.gif |
+--------------------------+ +-----------------+
| | | |
| | | |
+-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+
| Resource R1 | | Resource R2 | | Resource R3 |
+-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+
A COPY of /CollX with Depth infinity to /CollY will not result in a
changed hierarchy, and Resource R3 will be updated with the content
of either Resource R1 or Resource R2.

Feedback appreciated,
Julian
