public class RebindMethod extends XMLResponseMethodBase
The REBIND method removes a binding to a resource from one collection, and adds a binding to that resource into another collection. It is effectively an atomic form of a MOVE request. REBIND Method Example: >> Request: REBIND /CollX HTTP/1.1 Host: www.example.com Content-Type: text/xml; charset="utf-8" Content-Length: xxx invalid input: '<'?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> invalid input: '<'D:rebind xmlns:D="DAV:"> invalid input: '<'D:segment>foo.htmlinvalid input: '<'/D:segment> invalid input: '<'D:href>http://www.example.com/CollY/bar.htmlinvalid input: '<'/D:href> invalid input: '<'/D:rebind> >> Response: HTTP/1.1 200 OK The server added a new binding to the collection, "http://www.example.com/CollX", associating "foo.html" with the resource identified by the URI "http://www.example.com/CollY/bar.html", and removes the binding named "bar.html" from the collection identified by the URI "http://www.example.com/CollY". Clients can now use the URI "http://www.example.com/CollX/foo.html" to submit requests to that resource, and requests on the URI "http://www.example.com/CollY/bar.html" will fail with a 404 (Not Found) response.
