New Network Layer For Dirt

Hey! Enki has moved his blog to Armyofevilrobots.com. Check it out after you are done here. This page is going nowhere though...

DIRT has made some progress, and I have created a new Python HTTP socket handler in the process.

While Python comes with a plethora of great HTTP handlers, and there is no shortage of "aftermarket" ones (like Twisted), none of them really fit my needs. DIRT needs to connect to a stream, determine it's stream type, and then morph into the correct handler class on the fly. That is where my library comes in. Dirtnetlib determines the correct handler depending on the mime-type, or other metadata that is sent on just about any http compliant connection.

Dirtnetlib will be released as part of dirt within the next couple of weeks.
