public class MkcolMethod
The MKCOL method is used to create a new collection. All DAV compliant resources must support the MKCOL method. Collections are merely the HTTP name for structures like directories or folders (and, in fact, often map directly to a folder or directory on the web server.
This implementation of a MKCOL client method does not support a a request body, and the newly created web collection should therefore have no members.
MKCOL creates a new collection resource at the location specified by
the Request-URI. If the resource identified by the Request-URI already
exists on the server then the MKCOL will fail. During MKCOL processing,
a server will make the Request-URI a member of the URI's parent collection
(unless the Request-URI is "/"). If no parent collection exists, the method
will fail. Thus, for example, if a request to create collection
/a/b/c/d/
is made, and neither /a/b/
nor
/a/b/c/
exists, the request will fail.
MKCOL is not idempotent (that is to say, each MKCOL request should be handled by the web server, and the results of a MKCOL request should not be cached).
