[Devel] the line between openser and modules

[Mark Kent]

Hello,

I know that ser/openser was designed to keep the core small,
depending on modules to do lots of different things.

I'm wondering where the line was drawn about what was in the core and
what was not.  For example, I see goofy code in config files like
this:

  search("^Content-Length:[ ]*0")

and, since msg:len exists, I wonder why there isn't a msg:clen?

I'm curious if there is a well-defined border between what is IN and
what is OUT.

Thanks,
