Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning Ordered Collections Protocol
RFC 3648, “Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning Ordered Collections Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in December 2003 by J. Whitehead, J. Reschke. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This specification extends the Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) Protocol to support the server-side ordering of collection members. Of particular interest are orderings that are not based on property values, and so cannot be achieved using a search protocol's ordering option and cannot be maintained automatically by the server. Protocol elements are defined to let clients specify the position in the ordering of each collection member, as well as the semantics governing the ordering.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
