Question

How should a WebDAV server response when it receives a PROPFIND request for a resource that does not exist?

The RFC seems to say you should always return a 207 and then use 404 for properties that don't exist. But what if the resource itself doesn't exist?

Was it helpful?

Solution

The right answer is 404, which is true in general for most methods.

Where does it suggest it should be 207?
