Please assume that we are "using HTTP semantics internally" in both cases, which I interpret as not altering the forward.cc and Store code much -- the new FTP code will convert FTP commands into HTTP messages for internal processing and the code outside FTP client and server modules will remain pretty much the same. Thank you, Alex.
