Replication and the PROPPATCH Method
Topic Last Modified: 2006-06-12
The PROPPATCH Method is used to set/remove the properties of an existing resource. PROPPATCH Method in the context of WebDAV replication is used to upload the property changes for a particular resource. The server returns the updated resourcetag and repl-uid of the affected resource in the response headers. The PROPPATCH Method behavior is very similar to the PUT method behavior except that the PROPPATCH Method deals with resource properties rather than the resource contents. See Replication and the PUT Method for similar scenarios.
