Could this 308 (Permanent Redirect) give us a way to cache a probe URI's
definition document location?
An issue people have with httpRange-14 is that 303 redirects can't be
cached. If we could agree to use a 308 response as a cache-able
alternative to 303, we could reduce server load and speed client URI
processing (by caching the result of a probe URI).
Thoughts?

The IESG has approved the following document:
- 'The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Status Code 308 (Permanent
Redirect)'
(draft-reschke-http-status-308-07.txt) as an Experimental RFC
This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an
IETF Working Group.
The IESG contact person is Peter Saint-Andre.
A URL of this Internet Draft is:
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-reschke-http-status-308/
Technical Summary
This document specifies the additional HyperText Transfer Protocol
(HTTP) Status Code 308 (Permanent Redirect). This fills in a missing
piece of HTTP redirect behavior by allowing for a permanent redirect
that is guaranteed to not have a POST method changed to a GET.
Working Group Summary
This document is not the product of a working group, however it has
been discussed on the HTTP mailing list where ongoing HTTPbis work
is carried out.
Document Quality
This document has been discussed and reviewed on the HTTP mailing
list (<ietf-http-wg@w3.org>) mailing list. Informal last calls were
carried out on that mailing list as well as the IETF Apps Discuss
list (<apps-discuss@ietf.org>). This specification simply registers
a new HTTP status code that is a variant of existing well-defined
codes, and as such is straightforward.
