Timeout Header

Topic Last Modified: 2006-06-13

The WebDAV Timeout header may be used with the WebDAV LOCK Method to specify when the lock on the resource will expire.

TimeOut = "Timeout" ":" 1#TimeType
TimeType = ("Second-" DAVTimeOutVal | "Infinite" | Other)
DAVTimeOutVal = 1*digit
Other = "Extend" field-value

A Timeout request header must contain at least one TimeType value and may contain more. Multiple TimeType values are specified to indicate multiple values and value types which are acceptable to the client.

A Timeout response header must specify a "Second", "Infinite", or other value with which the client is familiar.

The "Second" TimeType specifies the number of seconds from the granting of the lock on a resource until the automatic removal of the lock by the server. The number of seconds specified cannot exceed 2^32-1.
