At this point I end up just making sure I am building this in a way that works properly with my front end squid cache. I'd like to be able to use different redirect status codes in a meaningful way, but I doubt in the end it buys you anything meaningful. Until all the browers support this meaningfully it fails to have much semantic meaning. I think the Atom people are doing something with this, for when you are retrieving info that needs to redirect, but it will be a long time before whatever standard they formalize is adopted. --john > > Regards, > -- > Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/> > > _______________________________________________ > List: [email protected] > Listinfo: > http://lists.rawmode.org/mailman/listinfo/catalyst > Searchable archive: > http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ > Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/ > ____________________________________________________________________________________ It's here!
