[jira] Updated: (JCR-391) WebDAV method invocation trying to create a new resource should fail with 409 (Conflict) if parent resource does not exist

Julian Reschke updated JCR-391:

OK, as Angela pointed out, this is because Litmus is trying a shallow copy, which currently isn't implemented. Returning 403 in this case is correct.

However, there seems to be a very simple workaround which does not only make Litmus happy, but may also help in some real-world cases: only reject the request here if the source resource indeed is a collection (otherwise WebDAV semantics for Depth: 0 and Depth: Infinity are identical).

> This is Litmus test case copy_nodestcoll. An attempt is made to COPY an existing resource to a new location, where the parent collection of the resource-to-be-created does not exist. RFC2518 asks for status code 409 (Conflict) instead of 403 (Forbidden) in this case.
