Re: Request for feedback on HTTP Location header syntax + semantics, Re: Issues 43 and 185, was: Issue 43 (combining fragments)

Hi All,

If the Location header is only used to:

  1] identify a newly created resource
  2] redirect the recipient to a different location

doesn't this mean that:

  location-field-value = absolute-URI
                          / ( path-absolute [ "?" query ] )
                          / ( relative-part [ "?" query ] )

and fragments don't come in to the equation / should not be allowed?

additionally how could a secondary resource (one identified by a
uri-reference containing a fragment) be accurately redirected-to when
secondary resources are not allowed in the request-target?

Many Regards,

Nathan
