Maybe it wasn't designed for it, but it's being used as if it was. ;-)

Well, I'm not sure what "it" is, yet, so I don't have a sense of the 
cost involved.  If there is a bit of low-handing fruit that takes away 
some of the brokkenness, it'd be nice to put in..

But it'd also be nice to have a reasonable HTTP implementation.  It's 
conceivable that a proxy could tickle one of these bugs just as well as 
a user, no?  I'm sure that Sam Rushing would like to know if there are 
problems with Medusa as well.
