Hi,
I am currently working on a java project that uses hessian and burlap (3.0.8, 
ancient, I know ;)) over http. It is sometimes useful to customize the request 
headers (ex: adding a Connection: Close) or reading the response header (ex: 
catching a Set-Cookie sent back by the server). One way to do this would be to 
pass to the HessianProxyFactory.create() method a URL instance (containing a 
custom UrlStreamHandler) instead of a String that Hessian then uses to 
instantiate a URL.

1) Are there alternatives in the latest version of hessian to read and write 
the connection headers (if the connection is an HttpUrlConnection) ?
2) Is there a strong argument against having an hessian client customize the 
UrlStreamHandler (maybe the latest version of hessian already uses a custom 
handler, and providing a new one would break the invoke method) ?
3) If the answer to 2) is no, then could the next versions of the 
HessianProxyFactory and BurlapProxyFactory containing such overloads (I can 
send a patch if needed) ? Obviously there is no need to bother with the current 
and older versions of hessian and burlap, I can upgrade to the appropriate 
burlap and hessian versions.

Thanks for your time,

-- Lorenzo
