Re: I-D ACTION:draft-reschke-http-get-location-00.txt

Hi,

this is a proposal that may build a bridge between the "hidden" Web 
(PROPFIND/REPORT/SEARCH and similar methods), and the pure Web (GET, 
cache validators).

HTML and XML versions at 
<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/#draft-reschke-http-get-location>.

Feedback appreciated,

Julian
