Re: [http-range14] Definition of the Dereferencing URI

Hi
the thing is not clear for me is that dereferencing a uri is not an act 
coming from the agent which is calling "this" uri but by the uri owner 
himself. So dereferencing is not the act of retrieving a uri but the act 
of providing a uri in a way to make it correspond to the header s 
definition of the agent...
