[users@httpd] HTTP “Location” header responds question
Hi list,
Really a question about the HTTP standard, but I had nowhere else to ask it.
May I include the HTTP “Location” header when not redirecting using a 3##
redirect status? I am considering including the Location header with the
preferred absolute URI on a 200 OK status.

It would not be non-standard. The responds would probably not be used by
anyone for anything. But if you read about the Location and Content-Location
header, I think the latter should not be used to convay the preferred
location of a resource. That is the job of the Location header. Even if it is
not used to rediciret, but marly inform about the preferred location.

That sounds like a job for Content-Location, rather than Location.
My reading is that Location has exactly two places: 3xx and 201
responses. Any other use would be non-standard.
