RESOLVE A HANDLE AND VIEW THE VALUES

The web form below will enable you to resolve individual handles and view their
associated values. It uses a proxy server, which understands both the Handle
protocol and HTTP protocol.

If you type a handle into the text box, and that handle has a URL associated
with it as one of its values, the proxy server will instruct your browser to
display the location of that URL.  If you select "Don't Redirect to URLs", the
proxy will display the handle record.

The Handle proxy server uses caching to speed handle resolution. If you check
"Authoritative Query", the proxy will bypass the cache, go directly to the
responsible handle server, and then refresh the cache with the data for that
handle.

Simply appending a handle to the URL http://hdl.handle.net/ and giving the
string to a browser as a location will also resolve that handle. The proxy also
supports a REST API, returning handle records in JSON format. Further
documentation is available here.
