Cool.

This is not the same HTTP server template that I developed in

Are these two different implementations of the same thing or do you intend
to do some merge on the differences?  I'm looking forward to seeing this.

Please feel free to do the merge.  John sent me a off list saying that he
didn't want to contribute any longer and, since his branch has diverged a
long way, I don't expect we'll be able to reintegrate it.

For 0.4 I wanted:

A URI package with unit tests
The HTTP client using the new URI (which you say you just completed)
Better docs
Better examples

I would therefore say we're pretty close, short of the documentation.  I'm
afraid I can only commit a small amount of time in the next couple of weeks,
but I will try and make progress with the documentation so as not to hold up
the release.  (Also, please feel free to pass comment on the current docs in
integration_0_4).

I take a holiday on the 17th Dec so I expect to release before then.
