The problem is that in this case, the client not sending a host[name] header also are the clients which only support one URL in a redirection status code - or am I missing something? I also belong to the group that believes that having the full URI in a request line would be more consistent with proxy requests but that it's something for version 2.0. If there really is a demand for a quick solution then a host[name] header can be added. However, I am getting more and more convinced that the Web community is getting too large for quick solutions - the inertia is simply too big and that time simply will run from this solution. -- cheers -- Henrik Frystyk
