llHTTPRequest restrictions

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post a request, but I'll try it here.

Because of the memory constraints of scripts and the memory leakage in dealing with strings, I have to store the objects I want to send via llHTTPRequest in notecards. Obviously, increasing the memory use of the scripts would have been one way of dealing with the situation

However, it probably would be generically useful if we could send an entire notecard via llHTTPRequest, so that it bypasses the script's memory. It might also be useful to then have more flexible notecard handling, though for my purposes it has been sufficient so far (that might change). This could be made more generic by have blob objects that could be converted to textures or notecards as needed.

Failing that, I had to implement a non-standard chunking method and a proxy server that took the non-standard chunks and put them back together again. Very annoying as it means that the server is now nonstandard and it's also not 100% reliable this way. I could have implemented my own standards-based chunking if I could have manipulated the HTTP headers. But that was also not possible.

So, if I had to choose between chunking functionality and sending notecards and/or blobs, I'd choose the latter. Give me an event driven XML parser and I'm in heaven.
