HTTP_STATUS_LOCKED

The resource might be locked directly or through an ancestor collection. The response body can identify lock information and the affected resource in a WebDAV multistatus format.

Check the lock token, lock owner, depth, timeout, and whether the client is operating on a member of a locked collection. Do not remove a lock without confirming that another client is not editing the resource.

The response can result from a missing lock token, a lock held by another principal, or a request that would modify a locked descendant. Inspect the WebDAV lock discovery information and the If header used by the client. Acquiring or refreshing the correct lock is preferable to repeatedly sending the same write.
