Can think of a number of reasons. Location in 201 is pretty much the same as Content-Location in 200. In simple cases it's identical to the Request-URI but there is a number of cases where they may differ. A example for PUT would be a server implementing "nameless PUT" to a directory automatically assigning a name to the created resource. Another would be when the PUT request was carried out on a valid URI for the resource but it's not the preffered URI for fetching the created resource, or yet another would be a versioned resource where each PUT creates a new resource each at unique locations. But this use of Location in 201 is a lot more apparent when looking at the use of POST for creating resources. But PUT isn't really that different. Regards Henrik
