I meant http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2616.html

Also, right now, we don't support the rather infrequently used TRACE and
CONNECT methods. Maybe we should for the sake of completeness?

Another thing that struck me was the fact that using the just checked in
example, if you try to access http://www.google.com - you get a redirect
response (3xx status code). However, we don't automatically redirect. Should
the choice to redirect be left to the user or should we give an option to
enable automatic redirection? Personally, I am in favour of providing an
option to enable or disable automatic redirection for requests. What do you
think?
