| Subject: | Allow MKCOL requests to send a request body |
The attached small patch allows for a content string to be passed to the mkcol method. This allows you to create more complex collection resources depending on the nature of your DAV server.
Once patched, you can do the following:
$d->mkcol(-url=> $url, -content=>'some content for the server');
The patch is against HTTP-DAV-0.31
Tested on:
This is perl, v5.8.6 built for i586-linux-thread-multi
