You meant URI.

It has been suggested before.  The basic problem, I believe, is that,
in general, the URI used to access the page may not agree with the
Location header returned, or with the URI derived from a self link within
the page. 

This is likely to be very common with many commercial sites, which seem
to redirect half a dozen times before finally ending up on the page, but
it is also an issue with mirrored sites and with content negotiation.

Please don't do this on public lists.
