RE: extension of ApplicationGateway

Hi THorsten,

No, it didn't get lost in the mail...I just haven't gotten to it yet (my
apologies). You are doing the right thing in pinging me about it however.
The noble art of proactive nagging is the surest way to see your changes
make it into an open source project! ;-)

I'll try to get to it tonight, and review Srinivas' proposed change as well
while I'm at it.

Thanks for the reminder!
