Hi,

I'm not sure if this should be going to Jeremy, or even if it is, then
if he's still available to work on it (having moved last year).

If I point the RDF validator at a redirected URI provided by
oclc.purl.org then the initial response is a 303 and a content type of
text/html. Unfortunately, the validator just uses the simple
URL.openConnection() method, which doesn't follow redirections.

Following redirections may make this servlet more sophisticated than
you want, but I think it's a useful thing to do. Using something like
Apache Commons HTTP Core would make the addition of this feature
trivial.

Regards,
Paul Gearon
