The document
http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/Protocols/HTTP/HTRESP.html
claims that to redirect a document, you return a
URI: Url String CrLf
line with a 301 or 302 response code. In practise, all the library
code and server code that I've seen sends back
Location: Url
lines, and doesn't even *look* for URI:.
Is URI deprecated, wishful thinking, backward compatible, a crock, or
what?
