You are correct in that you'd be depending on the
HTTPRequest implementation. If you want to avoid this,
why not write your mapping like so:
req = self.request()
for oldFieldName in resultMapping:
val = req.field(oldFieldName)
req.delField(oldFieldName)
req.setField(resultMapping[oldFieldName], val)

You'd need to enter a bug on webware's sourceforge project page,
and attach a patch. However, my gut feeling is that a "mapFieldNames"
method is too specialized and doesn't really belong in Webware. Nor
is it necessary, since it can be written using the existing public API
as I have shown.
