Conditional GETs

Hi,

I'm looking at getting conditional GETs going with the SkillsBase
application.  I'd like to introduce a HTTPHeaders class to represent the
collection of header fields in a message, and have a class for each of
the conditional header field types.

This is all to make it easier to handle in my app, of course :-)

In the course of doing this, I'm refactoring some of the request parsing
code, and I have a question about something in there:

Does anyone know what purpose the contentsStream in a message serves?
It looks like this is a kind of copy of the message created as the
message is read in and parsed, but I can't see anything using this
contentsStream once it's created.  I'm planning to drop it from the
version I'm working on unless I hear a howl of protest (with a reason
:-) ) from someone.

Thanks,
        Bruce

I think you are doing extension for a "common good" so go ahead ;)
I did some refactoring of that code too by introducing another buffer so
that sending a response goes in one step and not in many many small
fragments, which slows response time over slow links singnificantly.

I will publish my branch of Swazoo on Cincom public repository soon and
I propose that you and others do the same. After merging I think it is
more than a time for Swazoo v1.0 and not 0.9.x anymore, what do you think?

Best regards
Janko

Off I go, then!
Sounds good.  I tend to publish my changes to the public StORE quite
often, so you'll see some of my work already there.

I'll post here when I publish this set of changes.

All the best,
