The same goes for the CERN server. I think the reason is that the
implementation was done prior to the spec??

The CERN Line Mode Browser version 2.14 build on top of CERN Common
Code Library 2.16re2 recognizes LOCATION but I have just made it
understand URI as well. As the HTTP client used in the Line Mode
Browser is implemented as a part of the CERN Common Code Library, the
same goes for all other clients build directly on top of the library,
e.g the NeXT Browser.
Yea, the CL-HTTP server sends both URI and location. The CL-CLIM browser
handles both as well.
> Under what circumstances is 303 used?
This is not currently used as far as I know. The reason is that it
causes security problems having the METHOD chaning on the fly and
furthermore, I can't see the actual need for it. My advice is to forget
it!
Well, what about redirects for forms or other more complex operations on
methods other than GET?
