Thanks for the link, Rob. That is a good point. I felt that custom 
headers are a bad idea and was soliciting suggestions for best-practices 
for RESTful directory traversal with HEAD to find a parent. Surely 
someone has tried this? Or is it an acceptable practice to assume that 
HTTP URLs can be parsed to remove trailing path elements?

Kind regards,
