Is anyone interested in a simple mod to HTTP to allow more efficient link updating when a 301 response occurs? I once designed an addition to HTTP to allow updating of referrers the first time any user follows an old link, rather than waiting on (at best?) a periodic link-check performed by the server. I designed it as an exercise; now that I have it, and we're in 1.2-issues-phase, I thought I'd ask the WG if there's any interest. Is there enough long-term efficiency gain to warrant a change to the protocol? Implementors of link-editing HTTP servers, does this appeal to you at all? Cheers, James Marshall jsm@crl.com
