Avi - 

Awesome! I've been wanting/needing this for a while.  Apparently the
Squeak community goes one step better than the Lazy Web - I don't even
have to post it to the Web, I just have to *think* about something I
need implemented :)

Anyway, thanks a lot to you (and Goran, I believe) for getting this into
Squeak and onto SqueakMap.  I'm excited.

Does this handle Last-Modified, If-Changed-Since and Etags?  Does it
handle mod_gzipped content?

Thanks again,
Brent
