Booth, David (HP Software - Boston) scripsit: > A 303-redirect service such as http://thing-described-by.org makes it > very easy -- no server configuration at all. For any absolute http URI > u, http://thing-described-by.org?u 303-redirects to u. Thanks for the heads-up. It doesn't quite do everything that's needed, though. The trouble with t-d-b names is that you can't use them to talk about things that you yourself did not describe. For example, http://t-d-b.org?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Washington is an illegitimate URI for the resource usually named "George Washington", because Wikimedia did not authorize it. I'd like to see something like "http://t-d-b.org?by=mailto:cowan@ccil.org&using=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Washington" allowed; that would be an URL minted by the owner of "mailto:cowan@ccil.org" (viz. me) to refer to the resource described (in my opinion) by "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Washington", viz. George Washington. The redirection should be just as simple to arrange. -- John Cowan cowan@ccil.org http://ccil.org/~cowan It's the old, old story. Droid meets droid. Droid becomes chameleon. Droid loses chameleon, chameleon becomes blob, droid gets blob back again. It's a classic tale. --Kryten, Red Dwarf
