[Opensim-dev] Separation of HTTP interface from HTTP server

[Justin Clark-Casey]

The best person to talk to about this is Dr Schofield, since she has been doing all the running on OSHttpServer.  Not to put words into her mouth, but I suspect that she 
would be happy to help out with modularity also if that isn't already part of her thinking.
