Support for Metalinks as defined in the Internet-Draft http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-bryan-
metalink
should be implemented (as reference implementation and for testing reasons).

http://groups.google.com/group/metalink-discussion/web/internetdraft has additional information.

Note to self regarding implementation of the change in timestamp format:

We'll use RFC3339 timestamps instead of RFC822 timestamps in
the future. Cf.

r->request_time, which is attached to the request object, might be useful
instead of apr_time_now(), because it's already filled out and can save the
syscall to time().

Largely implemented; one big thing left to do: the hash cache needs to be
reimplemented. That's something I planned to do anyway, but now I realize that it
is blocking this implementation. The hash cache currently contains preformatted
hashes ready for injection into v3 Metalinks.

But other than that, there is not much left to do. (Commit to trunk pending)

Working on the required hash cache redesign -- now tracked separately in issue 40.

Closing. 2.13.0 is shortly before becoming released, after months of testing.
