3.1.5.3.10 create url-directory

The create url-directory request is used by the client to create a folder for the current site. Clients SHOULD use create url-directories (section 3.1.5.3.9) instead of this method to take advantage of the ability to set metadata for the folder without requiring a second RPC method call. However, servers MUST support this method for backward compatibility.

Parameters

service_name: This parameter is deprecated; see service_name in section 3.1.5.3.1.

url: A URL-STRING (section 2.2.2.2.3) that specifies the URL of the folder to be created. The client MUST send this parameter.

executable: A BOOLEAN (section 2.2.2.1.3) that indicates if the security settings for the newly created folder SHOULD allow execution of entities within it. If TRUE, the request is to create an executable folder. Clients that conform to the FrontPage Server Extensions: Website Management Protocol MUST send FALSE. Servers MUST ignore this for architectures that do not support the notion of an executable folder. The server SHOULD<29> ignore this for security reasons.
