Currently, this hook isn't really used, but when we start to really look
at multi-protocol, we are going to need this. For example, most protocols
are going to glean some information when actually creating a request.
Theya re going to want to set some information at this time. For example,
HTTP. We ahve a field, assbackwards, which is set while creating a
request, but it is incredibly HTTP specific. It is basically whether or
not this is a 0.9 request. This should move outside of the core
request_rec, and into an HTTP specific structure. In order to do this, we
will need to be able to affect the request_rec while it is being created.
A lot of this is in a document that a group of Covalent employees are
putitng the finishing touches on before we post it to the list. This
hook allows a module to affect how a request is created. I can't think of
a better name than hook_create_request.
I'll add a better comment in the next few days, but I am going to Portland
tonight, and my available time is limited until Wednesday.
