Use of the Prefer Header Field in Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning
RFC 8144, “Use of the Prefer Header Field in Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning”, is a Proposed Standard document published in April 2017 by K. Murchison. It updates RFC 7240. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines how the Prefer header field (RFC 7240) can be used by a Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) client to request that certain behaviors be employed by a server while constructing a response to a request. Furthermore, it defines the new "depth-noroot" preference.
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.
