Rob,
Thanks for all the information.
for the use case you describe. From the Javadoc (which is copied from
RFC 2616, HTTP/1.1):
"Redirects the client to a different URI that SHOULD be retrieved using
a GET method on that resource. This method exists primarily to allow
the output of a POST-activated script to redirect the user agent to a
selected resource. The new URI is not a substitute reference for the
originally requested resource."
So this sets the 303 status code and the target, which is probably what
you want for a Post/Redirect/Get pattern.
According to the Atom Publishing Protocol and i could be way wrong but
on POST, which creates the new resource I want to return a 201 and set
the Location header to newly created resource.
