One easy way is to visit /Control_Panel/manage_debug which shows you
the details about each active connection, including your own.  Another
possibility is to create a DTML method called "req" in your root folder
which simply calls <dtml-var REQUEST>.

I solved the 1900 problem by changing DateTime.py so that years 00-69
are now translated to 2000-2069.  That's the way it was supposed to
work in the first place; I think something fell through the cracks
awhile back.

Everybody is counting on having 64-bit processors or better by the year
2038, and if we do, performing an int() cast will be a safe thing to
do.
