Well, (3) doesn't really apply, since we're talking about a
Redirect Server here, not a Proxy.

In general, I'm thinking Redirect Servers only look at the
Request-URI. This is not limiting, however. Many Services
could be implemented by a Redirect Server examining the From,
To, Accept-Language, message body, ....
