They're in the process of switching the software they use to power the purl.org service. (Which seems to be taking a ridiculously long time to do.) It'd probably be more productive for you to speak to the people at purlz.org, who are developing the new software, than those at purl.org. One of the enhancements that the new software will bring is the ability to select an HTTP response code for PURLs. (Currently they're hard-coded as 302.) Though right now purlz.org's software only allows this for normal redirects, though adding this feature for partial redirects is on the bug tracker too. (For people not familiar with purl.org terminology, a partial redirect is essentially string head matching - i.e. not just "/foo/bar/", but all URLs that *start* "/foo/ bar/".) -- Toby A Inkster <mailto:mail@tobyinkster.co.uk> <http://tobyinkster.co.uk>
