Hi Jacob,

Not sure. I guess it's not a replacement at all but an low level HTTP
request handling. It could replace part of the code in
tools.MultipartHandler, for example. I suppose it could be some generic
HttpRequest object which does the job of the initial request handling and
then just used by other objects which deals with the data retrieved from
HTTP request.

Regards,
Mike
