Summary:                    Base IRI is still determined via Content-Location
value (as per RFC 2616 which is obsolete)
Description: 
As per https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231 :

   The definition of Content-Location has been changed to no longer
   affect the base URI for resolving relative URI references, due to
   poor implementation support and the undesirable effect of potentially
   breaking relative links in content-negotiated resources.
   (Section 3.1.4.2)

Steps to Reproduce: 
If the header:
Content-Location: example.html

is present where an RDFa document uses relative IRIs (eg about="",
resource="#foo") the base value becomes example.html (eg example.html and
example.html#foo)

Expectation is to use the request URI, i.e., ignore Content-Location value.
