Does RFC 1945 define a redirect field? I guess it does since redirects seem to happen quite a bit on the web. We need automatic redirects for the keys that shouldn't generally carry data.
I think Scott already wrote some code for redirects that assumed the meta-data was in a FreenetProtocol message. The only difference is we use "=" instead of ": " and FNP allows for dotted subsets: MIME.Content-type=foo MIME.Encoding=bar I have no opinion about what is the better choice. RFC 1945 will make Freenet to HTTP gateways a lot easier, FNP is what we use for everything else.
