Per [[rfc 1945]]: + +> The requested resource has been assigned a new permanent URL +> and any future references to this resource should be done +> using that URL. + +So ideally aggregate would notice the 401 and use the new url henceforth. + +It's a little tricky because the aggregate plugin can't just edit the page and +change the url in the preprocessor directive. (Because committing such an +edit would be .. hard.) Also, aggregate directives may also include a separate +url for the site, which may also have changed. Perhaps the thing to do is +record the new url in the aggregate plugin's state file, and change the message +to "Processed ok (new url http://..)", and let the user deal with updating +the page later. |
