Kurt,
I, too, have been considering the same thing because there are
times when it would be very nice to know an abandon has been received and
handled.
In a conversation I had with Haripriya, I suggested just such
a thing, and Haripriya suggested using a control to request a response for an
abandon operation. It sounds like Jim wouldn't mind seeing something in this
area as well. Should we write something up? If so, do you have an opinion
as to whether we should use a new extended abandon-with-response operation or a
control on the current abandon operation?

Abandon semantics also require the server to defer returning return results of operations issues subsequent to the abandon operation until the operation being abandoned has been abandoned or has completed. For this reason, I have been considering specifying a new abandon operation which, like the X.500 abandon operation, has a response. Kurt |
