Way cool. Not sure whether (or when) I would need that, but I know that if I do, it is possible, and I know where to ask. :-)

Unfortunately you changed the data structure a bit. Someone will have to make equivalent changes to the other protocols. Luckily most of them just check whether there is a and refuse to so they remain the same. And the rest seem to be variations on http so the change should be pretty much the same there.

Good luck on getting the patch accepted!
