Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) G. Clemm Request for Comments: 5842 IBM Category: Experimental J. Crawford ISSN: 2070-1721 IBM Research J. Reschke, Ed. greenbytes J. Whitehead U.C. Santa Cruz April 2010 Binding Extensions to Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) Abstract This specification defines bindings, and the BIND method for creating multiple bindings to the same resource. Creating a new binding to a resource causes at least one new URI to be mapped to that resource. Servers are required to ensure the integrity of any bindings that they allow to be created.
