Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics

Previously...

• I discovered that my new plan would not work
• I decided to use a new, new plan.
• I analyzed the function handle_http_put in the existing code.

I was going to detail send_outpacket and http_put, but I tried analyzing send_outpacket and found it quite difficult to understand.  At this point, I don't think the benefit from the analysis would justify the effort involved.  So for right now, I am going to skip send_outpacket and http_put and go right to the stuff that pertains to megaphone.

So the next steps are now to code up mod_megaphone so that it:

• Launches a new process when a request comes in.  
• The process then invokes ejabberd_http_bind:process_request.
• The process waits for the reply
• The process takes the reply and formats a valid HTTP response from it.
• The process sends the reply using the megaphone protocol back to ECM.
