The problem is that in this case, the client not sending a host[name]
header also are the clients which only support one URL in a redirection
status code - or am I missing something?
I also belong to the group that believes that having the full URI in a
request line would be more consistent with proxy requests but that it's
something for version 2.0. If there really is a demand for a quick
solution then a host[name] header can be added. However, I am getting
more and more convinced that the Web community is getting too large for
quick solutions - the inertia is simply too big and that time simply
will run from this solution.
