Sure I remember. I actually have some uncommitted code lying around, but
I never really made it work properly. If you accidentially followed my
post on c.l.t two days ago: thats' one of those loose ends, I'd like to
tie sometime ;-)

A similar problem was reported ercently about -httpresponse not
working anymore. A workaround for pretty much any header to send seems
web::response -set Status "401 $myResponseText"

As I wrote above: Plan: yes. Any time soon? I can't promise
anything. I have another thing I want to commit first: load
libwebsh.so/websh.dll from websh/websh.exe and mod_websh.so instead of
statically linking the same object code to the various targets. (No
functional change, but just a cleaner way to deploy, as the compiled
code installed only once.) When this is done: I'll give it another
try.

Thanks for letting me kow :-)
