I must confess that on this issue I find it rather difficult
understand why there are ANY bugs at all after... what is it? Five
years? Granted, they've changed from C++ to java recently but still...
even so the languages aren't SO different that you'd throw away
everything you would have learned. (In fact, they're similiar enough
that a lot of the time it's hard to tell if you're looking at C++ or
Java just at first glance.)

I have a hard time understanding why it'd take more than a week or so
to completely fix EVERYTHING that people have complained about over
the years for CHTTP.

You would think that in five years someone involved in the project
would have actually read the RFC's involving HTTP1.0/1.1. :-)

Anyway... it's all a mystery to me.

(Not that I've used CFHTTP in years for the obvious reason.)

Nice. I *almost* don't look down on Java as a play-toy anymore. /-)
