Redirection vs. Location

Description

The definition of the Location header currently says: "The Location response-header field is used to redirect the recipient to a location other than the Request-URI for completion of the request or identification of a new resource. (...)" The issue is that this can be read as if the "...or identification..." can be read as applying to the "redirect" part.

One simple fix seems to be to swap the two parts of the sentence, as in...: "The Location response-header field is used for the identification of a new resource or to redirect the recipient to a location other than the Request-URI for completion of the request. (...)"

Fixed in [237]:

Resolve #61: change the order of statements to make it clearer that "identification of a new resource" is not a case of redirection (closes #61).
