Here is new text for the Content-Location section. The change-bars are computer-generated. These changes reflect the removal of spoofing mechanisms from the spec, and also fix some terminology. To Jim Gettys: please perform the edits indicated below as soon as you can. Koen. --snip-- 10.16 Content-Location The Content-Location entity-header field is used to define the location of the specific resource associated with the entity enclosed in the message. A server SHOULD provide a Content-Location if, when | including an entity in response to a GET request on a varying | resource, the entity corresponds to a specific location which can be accessed via the Content-Location URI. A server SHOULD provide a Content-Location with any 200 (OK) response which was internally (not visible to the client) redirected to a resource other than the one identified by the request and for which correct interpretation of that resource may require knowledge of its actual | location. [##sentence deleted here##] Content-Location = "Content-Location" ":" absoluteURI If no Content-Base header field is present, the value of Content- Location also defines the base URL for the entity (see Section 10.9). | Under this specification, the response to a request on one URI can | never create or update information cached for another URI. For | security reasons, when storing the response in cache memory, caches | MUST use the resource URI indicated by the request, and MUST NOT use | the URI in the Content-Location header field. | XXX The paragraph below needs to be reviewed: there may not be | consensus about including it. | If cache memory contains an existing entry for the resource indicated | by the Content-Location header, and if this indicated resource is | located on the same origin server and is not a varying resource, the | cache SHOULD compare any cache validators in the current response | with the cache validators of the entry. If the validators do not | match, and if the age of the response is less than the age of the | entry, then the cache SHOULD remove or make stale the entry.
