Re: Which URI should be persistent when redirects are used? (typos fixed)

I inadvertently omitted "jpg" and "png" in a couple of places. Here  
is the corrected part:

 From this mindset, I will at some time later encounter http:// 
example.com/depict/alan. Upon accessing it, I get a series of bits.  
Upon examining the bits, I find that they are the same set of bits as  
the jpg document. I say, oh, http://example.com/depict/alan  
identifies the same document as http://example.com/depict/alan.jpg.  
Conclusion http://example.com/depict/alan is an alias for http:// 
example.com/depict/alan.jpg

Some time later I access http://example.com/depict/alan with a  
different agent. Upon accessing it, I get a series of bits. Upon  
examining the bits, I find that they are the same set of bits as the  
png document. I say, oh, http://example.com/depict/alan identifies  
the same document as http://example.com/depict/alan.png. Conclusion  
http://example.com/depict/alan is an alias for http://example.com/ 
depict/alan.png
