HI,
Section 4.3 states that Request-URI "indicates the user or service
to which this request is being addressed" -- (1)
Also in the later statements
" Proxy and redirect server MAY use the information in
the Request-URI and request header fields to handle the request
and....." --- (2)
"...proxies are responsible for processing the Request URI; the To
field is of end-to-end significance." (3)
So the doubt is:
If I am implementing a redirect server, upon receiving a Request, what is
the order of the URL for me to perform redirection ? Should I based on
Request-URI? (violating (2))
OR To field? (violating (1,3))
OR To field follow by Request_URL if To field is
not in the location database ? OR any other sequence which I not
known of..........
Thank you for your help.
