If I knew how to login to the stupid CollabNet tracker, I'd add it there...but...this also really belongs on dev@. I posted a patch back in May which has serf send C-L request bodies...at the time, no one else thought it was a good idea to add it. There must be something goofy about my message which trips up mod_mbox - but, the thread is here: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/subversion-dev/201105.mbox/%3CBANLkTi=geo7mu1khtpsz9tmvoas07bd...@mail.gmail.com%3E *shrug* -- justin
