Char-by-char equivalence is too weak for URIs. RFC 2396 resolution tells us how to convert relative URIs to absolute, which can then be compared char-by-char. Server-level equivalence (accessing the resource entity and seeing if you get the same bytes) is inherently hopeless, as the entity contents may literally change from second to second. -- Schlingt dreifach einen Kreis um dies! || John Cowan <jcowan@reutershealth.com> Schliesst euer Aug vor heiliger Schau, || http://www.reutershealth.com Denn er genoss vom Honig-Tau, || http://www.ccil.org/~cowan Und trank die Milch vom Paradies. -- Coleridge (tr.
