Replication and the POST Method

This content is no longer actively maintained. It is provided as is, for anyone who may still be using these technologies, with no warranties or claims of accuracy with regard to the most recent product version or service release. The POST method is used to add a new non collection resource to an existing collection using a server-defined name. The POST method in the context of WebDAV replication is used to upload the contents of a new resource in a particular collection. The server returns the resourcetag and repl-uid of the new non collection resource in the response headers.

Normal POST method

If a client issues a normal POST method request without any headers specific to replication, the request will have the default behavior as defined in HTTP/1.1 and WebDAV protocol except that the server returns the resourcetag of any created or updated resource. The server ignores any request headers related to resourcetag or repl-uid in a POST method request because they don ot hold any meaning or purpose.
