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.
