What is "dead properties" ? I see it in Property Managers : "DAV providers may use a property manager to support persistence for dead properties."

Hi,

I have a question :

* What is "dead properties" ? I see it in Property Managers : "DAV
providers may use a property manager to support persistence for dead
properties."

Thanks for your help,
Stephane

It's defined here:
http://www.webdav.org/specs/rfc4918.html

Live Property - A property whose semantics and syntax are enforced by
the server. For example, the live property DAV:getcontentlength has its
value, the length of the entity returned by a GET request, automatically
calculated by the server.

Dead Property - A property whose semantics and syntax are not enforced
by the server. The server only records the value of a dead property; the
client is responsible for maintaining the consistency of the syntax and
semantics of a dead property.

regards
Martin
