}What is HTTP 208 Already Reported?
HTTP 208 Already Reported is used inside a DAV: propstat response element to avoid repeatedly enumerating the internal members of multiple bindings to the same collection. This is part of the WebDAV protocol extensions.
- WebDAV Binding: Specific to WebDAV binding extensions
- Avoid Duplication: Prevents duplicate reporting of resources
- Collection Members: Used when enumerating collection contents
- Performance Optimization: Reduces unnecessary data transfer
When Does This Happen?
A 208 Already Reported response is returned to indicate that members have already been enumerated in a previous part of the response. You'll see this status code when:
- Enumerating WebDAV collections with multiple bindings
- Traversing directories with symbolic links or hard links
- Avoiding circular references in resource enumeration
- Optimizing responses for large directory structures
- Working with WebDAV servers that support binding extensions

Common Use Cases
🔗 WebDAV Bindings
Test WebDAV operations with bound resources.
📂 Directory Traversal
Handle directory listing with symbolic or hard links.
🔄 Circular Reference
Prevent infinite loops when enumerating linked resources.
⚡ Performance
Optimize response sizes by avoiding duplicate resource reporting.
🗂️ Collection Management
Test collection enumeration in WebDAV-compatible systems.
🔍 Duplicate Detection
Implement logic to handle already-reported resources.
