Use the URI provided in the Content-Location header of the response,
if any.
From RFC 2616, Sec 14.14;
"A server SHOULD provide a Content-Location for the
variant corresponding to the response entity; especially in the case
where a resource has multiple entities associated with it, and those
entities actually have separate locations by which they might be
individually accessed, the server SHOULD provide a Content-Location
for the particular variant which is returned."
If a specific URI for the representation isn't provided, then your
only choice is for you to identify it yourself by hanging that content
off of your own web server.
