I think the reason behind both issues is because the proposed contributions weren't that great. I'm sure this statement tweaks a lot of people, but I think it's the truth. The upside is that in 4.1.x, expect to see a better way of handling the whole encoding/charset mess, along with better support for non-HTTP protocols in the core. Done right.

For better or worse, I think I've been good about making decisions and following through as best I can. -- Dossy -- Dossy Shiobara mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Panoptic Computer Network web: http://www.panoptic.com/ "He realized the fastest way to change is to laugh at your own folly -- then you can let go and quickly move on."
