+1, with the same conditions you stated, and some docs of course
I'm curious, though, why you used single character record IDs, as for
ExternalParser.cc, for things like content-type, etc., instead of using
the same sort of headers used by HTTP. I guess it's not a problem except
perhaps for the "c" content record, which will require the entire content
on one line with no tabs, if I read the code correctly.
