DELETE and 201 Created

Just thought about a useful combination of DELETE and a 201 Created response:

DELETE /service/documents/667
 
201 Created
Location: /service/archive/documents/667
Content-Type: text/plain
 
Document /service/documents/667 has been deleted
and archived at /service/archive/documents/667.

    Interesting, I had a similar thought. What I came up with is that, although the resource has been deleted, the URI redirects to the new archive entry instead of resulting in 410 GONE (or plain old 404).

    IMO, 201 is a confusing response. 200 or 204 w/ a Location header is just as handy.

    Mike,
    but Location header does not indicate resource creation. The meaning of the Location header depends on the status.
