 *
 * I was playing around with redirection today, and got conflicting info
 * on how it is done: both draft-ietf-iiir-http-00.txt and 
 * http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/Technical.html talk about
 * 
 * 	Uri: <url> String CrLf
 * 
 * but Mosaic for X and httpd seem to use
 * 
 * 	Location: <url>
 * 
 * Why are these contradictory? Which one is right?

The PS document we based it on is from June 1993... I'm not sure when it was
changed or who changed it, but now that we have a huge installed user base I
think Location should be used.
