This patch was posted by "koder_ua". I think that Request must have a "request type" parameters, so people can send "HEAD" requests easily.
But it seems to me that keeping a request history in the module is bad, because it can easily grow up to thousands and explode (a.k.a. consume too much memory). Fo example, I have a web service, running 7x24, and opening another web service, with around 10 requests per second. This means, keeping the history (around 50bytes each request), 1.2 GB of RAM in only a month! So, I'll close this patch as "Rejected", for this reason, if anyone raises objections. Regards, -- .
