   I've committed a change (changeset 85) that allows you to see the HTTP
headers in the response from cgi-bin/requestinfo.py
There are a couple of bugs in the library that put in non-existent headers
in the response. However, it should be sufficient to test for setting of
http headers.

I'm thinking of refactoring the entire file to make parsing of the response
easy.
What would be the ideal response from the CGI script? CSV, XML or something
else?
Currently, the response is rather kludgy to parse.

Comments would be helpful.
