   3 * Notes
   4 * Tasks [4/8]
   5 ** DONE Handle POST requests
   6 1. read standard for POST data
   7 2. parse multi-line headers with boundaries
   8
   9 For now keep this all incremental and in ews-filter.
  10
  11 ** DONE Makefile
  12 - byte-compile
  13 - package
  14 - test
  15 - benchmark
  16 ** DONE catch errors and return an error code
  17 include an easy error handler like the 404 handler
  18
  19 ** TODO better parsing of multipart form blocks
  20 parse more than just the content-type headers.
  21
  22 ** DONE non-multipart form data
  23 e.g., parameter strings
  24
  25 ** TODO some more convenience functionality [5/6]
  26 - [ ] strip and parse URL query string
  27 - [X] parse urlencoded post data
  28 - [X] think about defaulting to (name . content) for form elements
  29 - [X] maybe don't require a non-nil return to cancel the connection,
  30       instead only keep open if :keep-open is returned
  31 - [X] function to send a file (with mime handling)
  32 - [X] send a 404 with some default text
  33
  34 ** TODO Lazy header processing
  35 Use lazy sequence functions for header a-list to avoid parsing all
  36 headers.  For regexp matchers should stop when matched header is
  37 encountered (often the first one when :GET), For function matchers
  38 provide lazy version of assoc.
  39
  40 ** TODO use gnutls for https
  41 I think this should work.
  42 * Documentation
  43 ** Writing Handlers
  44 *** Matching
  45 *** Handler Functions
  46 At any time one can throw =close-connection= to abort the handler and
  47 close the conncetion.  If the keyword =:keep-open= is thrown, then the
  48 handler aborts, but the connection isn't closed.
  49
  50 A return value of =:keep-open= will keep the connection open,
  51 otherwise it is closed when the handler returns.
