Re: The range of the HTTP dereference function

I agree strongly with Dan and Roy here.

What feature would it take in HTTP to allow it to properly support
identifying cars?  You'd need some sort of assertion declaring a
relationship between a document and a real thing, right?  

In other words, we'd need a way to declare that "http://www.markbaker.ca/"
(which identifies me), and "http://www.markbaker.ca/index.html" (which
identifies an HTML representation of me, aka my "home page"), were
related in this manner.

But we already have Content-Location!  And should I ever figure out how
to do more with Apache headers than mod_headers allows, I would enable
this on my web server like so;

HEAD / HTTP/1.1
Host: www.markbaker.ca
Content-Type: text/html
Resource-Type: http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/#Person
Content-Location: /index.html

and

HEAD /index.html HTTP/1.1
Host: www.markbaker.ca
Content-Type: text/html
Resource-Type: http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/#Document
