[Zope3-dev] Bundled HTTP Views and Code Reuse

[Sidnei da Silva]

Hi, its me again.

Ive noticed that there are at least 3 or four methods from HTTP and DAV 
that 'share' common data. For example, the spec for PROPFIND says that 
the response to a request for D:getlastmodified "Contains the 
Last-Modified header returned by a GET method without accept headers". 
In the same sense, HEAD its basically the same as a GET, but returns an 
empty response body.

So, my proposal is to refactor out the HTTP server to make GET, HEAD, 
POST into IHTTPPresentation views, allowing one to consistently use the 
same method and consequently achieve the same value on all HTTP-based 
methods.

What do you guys think?
