I don't understand the re-route mechanism.
Is HTTP REDIRECT involved?
Is an HTTP proxy required to open up the application/ipp body and rewri=
te it?
Could someone please give some re-route scenarios?

ALL internal URIs are absolute?

MUST be, unless you're talking to an HTTP proxy server.

What is the rationale for this? (Esp. given that the server does not ne=
ed to
check it for routing and that the HTTP request URI takes precedence.)
Could you elaborate on what's required to satisfy this?
Suppose the two URIs effectively reference the same resource but they a=
re
significantly different (say, as the result of an HTTP redirect)?
Leniency on this requirement would facilitate testing with binary trace=
files.
