Description

exarkun's avatar @exarkun reported
Trac ID trac#2499
Type enhancement
Created 2007-03-01 16:06:12Z

Jeff Silver worked up a patch for this a while ago. Alas, it doesn't include unit tests, and only attempts to deal with the server side of this, but it may at least provide a starting point for something else.
