I can be ultramagnus!

April 9, 2006 at 9:15AM This server treats “Content-Location” oddly.

I’m not sure if this is an IIS 6 problem or a ColdFusion 5 problem, but one of the two of them is deciding to mangle my response headers if I add a Content-Location header to my response, interpreting it as a Location header and changing my response from a 200 OK to a 302 Found, causing it to redirect temporarily.

This is not how it’s meant to work! Content-Location is for specifying resources which are variant representations of the entity represented by the request URL, i.e. “that over there contains the same information as this here, but in a different form”. It doesn’t mean “bog off over there for now”.

I wanted to use it with my feeds, but that appears to be out of the question. Am I reading the RFC incorrectly, or is the server just acting the maggot?

All form information is optional, but it’s a good idea to fill in your name and email address if you want me to take your comment seriously.

Spammers, don’t bother posting crap down here. The site is set up so that legitimate search engines (Google, for instance) won’t index pages with comments on them. Posting crud here only means you’re wasting my time and patience. Shoo!
