You're welcome! Thanks very much for your proposal!

The restlet-browser.js in the modules/org.restlet.js/src/dist folder is
the assembly file that selects which files to include in the Restlet JS
edition for browser. After having run Ant with build.browser task, the
js file for the edition can be found in the
modules/org.restlet.js/target/browser directory.

Do you know if tcpmon updates the request by adding or removing some
HTTP headers?

I discussed this issue with Restlet team and the problem comes from the
Jackson extension. In fact, there is a problem when computing scores to
route to the right method. They're working on this issue...
