Content-Location is a http level equivalent of the base tag. But also not widely used.
Why not just take the Location header of the previous response?

Rene Kluwen,

In HTTP1.0, "Content-base" is base URI. But HTTP1.1 doesn't support this
header.

Can 'content-location' in the http response be used as base URL?  Rfc2616
says "The value of Content-Location also defines the base URI for the
entity.".
