As I've mentioned privately to a few TAG members the past few weeks, I've been spending some time trying to think through the HTTP Redirections issue. I've never been quite comfortable either with our use of Information Resources or our suggestion to rely on 303 status codes. Anyway, I've been working through that time to pull together some thoughts on what might be new approaches, and I've come up with some ideas. I'm not ready to promote these as "the right answers", but even finding out why they're not quite right may teach us something about what the problems are. A writeup is linked at [1] and is also attached to this email (same content). I had hoped to come up with something a bit more polished in time to be on the official F2F reading list, but I got delayed working on the self-describing Web draft. Stuart: I do hope that there might be some time to sketch these ideas on the whiteboard during our discussion of HTTP Redirections, and if anyone has time to give these notes a look before than I'd be very grateful for comments. Again, I don't consider either the writeup itself or the ideas to be polished, but I hope that getting this out for discussion in rough form now is better than waiting. For the record, this is not a formal W3C Note, a draft of a TAG finding or anything like that. It's just my own musings on this issue. I hope this is of at least some value in moving the discussion along.
