[Zope-dev] Medusa Patch Lost

[Toby Dickenson]

A zope-specific patch to medusa seems to have got accidentally lost
between 2.3.x and 2.4. The patch below allows Zope to handle http
requests as if it was a proxy, ie:
GET http://servername/x/y/z HTTP/1.0

in addition to the more normal mode as if it was an origin server:
GET /x/y/z HTTP/1.0

(there is an rfc for this, but I forget the number :-(

(With the Collector down, I hope this is the best place for
uncontroversial patches. Is anyone from DC looking out for them?)
