Redirection issue

Hi,

I'm not sure if this should be going to Jeremy, or even if it is, then
if he's still available to work on it (having moved last year).

If I point the RDF validator at a redirected URI provided by
oclc.purl.org then the initial response is a 303 and a content type of
text/html. Unfortunately, the validator just uses the simple
URL.openConnection() method, which doesn't follow redirections.

Following redirections may make this servlet more sophisticated than
you want, but I think it's a useful thing to do. Using something like
Apache Commons HTTP Core would make the addition of this feature
trivial.

Regards,
Paul Gearon
