Hi Stuart, Sounds great! I would just suggest that you contribute patches for this based Restlet 2.0 code (SVN trunk) as we can't add new features to Restlet 1.1 branch.
Of course, you can still use your own local patches for 1.1 if needed for your own project.

Once I get it working I will be happy to contribute the code.
