Hey Guys!

Sorry I was out for a bit. Personal health issues aside, I should be
back on track.

I like this! :D

Sweet. :) If you need any help on directives, you can look at how I do
it with the network::message implementation.

One thing we can do is simply use a Boost.Fusion associative sequence
(a fusion map) like we do now to build and store the URI parts in the
HTTP request's 'uri' method.

If you think about it, we just need to generalize the URI parsing and
it shouldn't be hard to factor this out.

If we can do it real soon (along with fixing the Python server tests)
maybe 0.3 will be a more jam-packed release than what I originally
envisioned. ;-)
