>>> 1. User clicks on http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/ongoing.rss >>> 2. Browser gets back application/rss+xml (or whatever) >>> 3. Application hands URI to correct handler >>> 4. Handler does the right thing The application (browser) would need to do more than just hand off the URI, lest the handler and/or helper application end up redundantly retrieving the representation a second (or third, or fourth...) time. I think that ideally it would hand off the entire response, inserting the request URI into the header of the response. I.e. simply a local redirect to the handler and eventually to some helper application. The browser is simply acting then as a proxy, redirecting some responses elsewhere rather than displaying them natively. Anyway, just wanted to add that last 0.02 euros...
