Re: tests removed from APP test suite

I would not return a Location header, but I guess that should depend on the implementation.  For instance, a server may want the client to use the returned Location to check to see when the resource is actually created.  E.g . "I've accepted the post, if and when I create it, it will be available here...."

OK, I learned something.

Do you still maintain that the server should not send a location header
(if only for the client's future reference)? It still seems to me that
this needlessly hides useful information.
