Not part of the message.

Not part of the message.

Part of the message.

You mean NAT?  If so, not part of the message.

If not NAT, then it is part of the message.

Well, that's not technically an intermediary scenario, as the redirect
is a result of the message reaching the ultimate receiver.  But the URI
of the resource producing the redirect is part of the message, if that's
what you mean.

Part of the message.

Don't know what you mean.

Mark.
