It boils down to this:

This last point makes it look like you want someone to implement it,
but you do not want to say that in the open, fearing (rightly)
that the reply might be "why don't*you* implement it if you want it?"
Well I would have though the ongoing discussion with Peter had been a
pretty "open" suggestion that he extend what he had done. When someone
had there nose into a particular part of the code and is actively
working on it that would seem the most obvious first stop.
I *don't* need it , as I stated I use lighttpd, and this is one of the
reasons.
It boils down to this:
Peter submitted a new feature and I thought I could contribute an idea
that would make it more useful.. I don't have the time to get familiar
with the code and thought that someone already working on this could
extend this (new feature if you will) with almost trivial effort and
code size.
httpd is one of the weaker parts of busybox and one of the few areas
where I have had to install a separte package.
I thought I may be able to contribute with this suggestion.
If you don't want any ideas for improving BB that don't have a patch
attached , I'll butt out.
Thanks to all for this excellent package.
best regards.
