Hi Diva,

I am convinced, now, that the framework isn't needed to write external
handlers. I had overlooked the possibility of loading external dlls into
Robust when I started working on it (and didn't look back till now). And
I thought that a shim was needed to handle the loading and configuration
of the external handlers. I see how they can be loaded now.

I will be able to work on it in a couple of days and will focus on
making the the https part better. Then we can look at that separately.


Thanks,
