Uhm, perhaps. :-) The way I see it - i'd like it to be the store's
responsibility to parse say a chunked request or a range request
and spit out the correct reply back. This would mean that the
storeClientCopy() call becomes the "other side" of storeAppend().

This would mean that the existing range request handling code in
the client/server http modules would need ripping out and the
request was just passed straight through to storeLookup(), and
storeLookup() handles all the tricky stuff.

You then end up with a very simple request-reply flow, where
you have something in the middle (the storage manager, filters, etc)
which can change the request and do the tricky stuff.

I've just hit a bit of a pinch in my time management, so I don't
mind if either of you want to go ahead and continue tidying up
the http code in modio. It'll make my job easier down the track.
