Re: Redirection to Other IP Addresses

Hi Julian,

So maybe the server can returns a 301 with no "location" header but a
"alt-svc" header to
force the client to go to that alternative service?
How are today's browsers implemented to handle this?
Is there any recommended implementation in any standard?
Or it is completely up to the client?

Thanks!

Bin
