I would strongly suggest that we NOT attempt to rebuild the update mechanism in ra_serf at this late stage. I can understand the pragmatic desire (eg. efficiency for many small files), I think that is a discuss best reserved for post-1.7. It seems that Lieven is on the right path with a fix, so maybe some extra tweaking will make that happen. Cheers, -g
