Mongrel users - Mar 2008 - [OT] HTTP headers status diagram

To paraphrase Woody Allen:

"Everything you always wanted to know about HTTP headers status, but  
were afraid to ask"

Alternatively:

"An activity diagram to describe the resolution of HTTP response  
status codes, given various headers."

Wow - a state diagram for HTTP response codes. I''m impressed
you''ve put
this together - it ought to help people building new app servers for 
sure (and it seems there''s a new one every week). You should send this 
up to W3 too - I''ve never seen anything like it on their site (but 
haven''t looked specifically either).

Nice one,

Steve
