The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Walden,
So long as you're accepting the headers (ignoring them is fine) that
will be sent, and sending back the right headers for the client to
consume I don't see a problem.
Whidh is why I didn't think it would be very hard to implement this myself.
The biggest obstacle I saw was the SSL layer, because I didn't know about
GSKit.
but you've got to admit, it would be cool to see
a server ident of "doug web-server version 1.0" <G>
HTTP headers are no big deal to insert myself. One of my other pasttimes is
creating programs for Palm OS using straight C (there is not very good C++
class support), and I do all my own client side HTTP wrappers myself for
doing GET, HEAD and POST requests for progamatically exchanging data with a
web server. There I just use low level sockets, generating my own HTTP
headers and parsing the headers and data returned by the server. I'm not
actually rendering the HTML returned like a browser; I'm just using HTTP as
a protocol for exchanging data (in some cases by sending or receiving a file
attachment, in other cases as parsing the data out of the HTML tags in the
body of a web page table).
So I'm already familiar with HTTP headers required for limited, specific
scenarios, and I've done socket level work talking to HTTP servers. Just
never been the server side of the equation.
