I'm wondering about the implications of the httpRange-14 decision. In
summary, it says:
a) if it's 2xx, then it's an information resource;
b) if it's 303, then it's whatever;
c) if it's 4xx, then it's whatever.
First, I'm wondering what is the difference between b) and c). Second,
I'm wondering what it implies for other codes, such as 3xx and 5xx. And
what about URIs that do not resolve (like hash-URIs)?
It seems to me that the absence of specification for these codes means
that the URIs may mean whatever. So, is it correct to interpret
httpRange-14 as follows:
a) if a GET request returns 2xx on a URI then the URI denotes an
information resource;
b) a URI can be any kind of resource otherwise.
