One approach to handling HTTP headers in Ruby
Perl has their 'there's more than one way to do it.'
There's also 'it's already been done lots of different
ways,' which is common among open libraries (like Ruby
gems, Perl's CPAN, etc.).
One of the problems tackled in 'lots of ways' is dealing
with the fields in an HTTP header. Ken Coar was one of
the early developers of the Apache HTTP server, and has
worked with HTTP headers for years. In this session,
he'll go through *his* approach to dealing with the
vagaries of this common data collection.
