RE: URIs: resources and contradictions was: Re: httpRange proposed text

A redirect doesn't violate that guarantee, both people still know that they are going to end up interacting with the same "thing" (as long as the redirect is consistent).

 Errm... no.  The fact that URLs get redirected is only
 one exception to that.   They don't have that confidence.
 They have that expectation.  It is reinforced positively
 or negatively everytime they use any given URL and they
 get different degrees of confidence for specific URLs
 used over time.

 When two people use the same http URL, they have a reasonable degree of
 confidence that they will be connecting to the same "thing", and they
 don't even have to dereference the site to have that confidence.
