No problem. :)

Ah, I'm finishing up 0.7 this week, and will be cleaning up a lot of
the repetitive code with preprocessor macro's. I'm also writing a huge
chunk of documentation regarding the HTTP client.

Oh boy, you're right. Are you using the latest release? It looks like
the request variable doesn't contain the source! :( I'll fix that in
0.7, which should be out within the week. If you cannot wait, I'll be
pushing a fix tonight to the 0.7-devel branch, and I'll let you know
when it's ready so that you can pull.

Thanks for trying that. In the meantime, there's no way yet to get the
source of the request. I haven't been paying attention to the server
implementation for a while already, and overlooked this one aspect. :/

You're welcome, and I hope I'll be able to help more in the future. :)
