You might need to have access to the response too. In WebDAV world, as an example, you need to set a whole bunch of headers (Allow:, DAV:, MS-Author-Via - yuck - and more), and a DASL component needs to specify the search vocabularies supported. True, you can do it by hand, but it would be much better if such manipulation could be done by a "request-factory".
Damn, great point.
So, back one step: could "adapt-environment" help? or is "environment" not good enough for people to understand?
What do others think?
For the record, I'm +1 for it.
