Thanks.

in src/HttpReply.cc:
* please use Squid syntax.
  -  return type on separate line above the method/function name.


in src/HttpReply.h:
* please use doxygen syntax "\returns" instead of "returns" in the
comment text.


in src/LogTags.cc:
* instead of adding new enum entry please extend LogTags with a new bool
flag and the c_str() to append the "IGNORED" when that flag is true.
 - TCP_REFRESH should be set when refresh was started.
 - whoever merges this patch will also need to update the wiki
SquidFaq/SquidLogs page to document what "IGNORED" means.


in src/client_side_reply.cc:
* please remove the "handleIMSReply: " bit from touched debugs messages.
