Question 24

A 200 (OK) response to GET carries a Content-Location value that differs from the target URI. What is the origin server claiming?

  1. That the response is a cached copy retrieved from the named URI
  2. That subsequent requests must be sent to the Content-Location URI instead
  3. That the target URI has moved and the client should update its references
  4. That the target URI is subject to content negotiation and Content-Location is a more specific identifier for the selected representationCorrect answer

Explanation

Content-Location is representation metadata, not a replacement for the target URI: on a GET or HEAD a differing value points at the specific negotiated variant. Telling a client that a resource has moved is the job of Location on a 3xx response.
