davehttp v0.5.3

The basics of an HTTP server

This code was showing up all over the place. Handle an HTTP request with logging. A few other amenities. Rather than do a crappy job over and over, I decided to do a good job once, then reuse the result. There's still more work to do, but it's useful right now as-is.

Changed urlDefaultFavicon so it isn't http-specific. We want to run this behind an HTTPS server.

A lot of missing notes. I promise to do better. ;-)

Added a call to console.trace when there's an error in handling an HTTP request. Without it, it's hard to tell where the errant code was.

Added support for POST messages. We store the post body in theRequest.postBody. Now the app doesn't have to do this for itself.
