[Opensim-dev] HTTP Server source code

[Diva Canto]

The HTTP server is one of those dark, ugly, scary corners of this 
project. I'm not even sure I know all of its secrets. But here's what I 
know. It started with  code that jhurliman and someone else had done. In 
the process of using it, OpenSim devs found several bugs and submitted 
patches to the upstream project, but the devs there were a bit too slow 
integrating them (like they didn't act within the next day or 
something...), so the OpenSim devs basically forked the project to the 
point of no return. Within the past year I have also encountered bugs, 
and I patched them in our fork.  But what's even worse is that the svn 
repository where our fork lives has been showing signs of being 
corrupted, so I haven't been able to push the changes there.

In other words, the latest version of that code is here on my machine!

This is *really* bad.

It's way up high on my priorities to move this to our git repo as soon 
as I have time to code again -- which hopefully will happen in November. 
But this move only takes us from hell to purgatory. It's a shame that we 
forked the project and that we can't use the newest version of that 
other project. So if anyone is brave enough to venture there, that would 
be a major contribution...
