HttpClient class removed from pubsub.py ...

 ... and the newly leaner, meaner pubsub.py has been checked into CVS
after I rain the unit tests on it and all worked but the usual suspects
(off host routes, content transform, replay, CGI support).

It wasn't in use, and given the direction pubsub.py is going, it was
likely to continue to go unused.  This is part of the bigger effort of
cleaning up pubsub.py's event model, an ongoing effort.

My next immediate pain point is to find a Python logrolling package
we can use so our logs don't grow without bound.  Does one ship with
the Python standard library?  I wonder if Twisted Internet has one?
Will investigate...

I think the order of major fixes server-side are:

  1. Add logrolling.  Hopefully use an off-the-shelf package?

  2. Fix Event/Route/Tunnel class model to be more event-driven.
This will allow proper freeing of expired Routes and Tunnels, and
allow the PubSub Server to randomly drop Events when memory utilization
needs it to.
 
  3. Add pluggability support for external subscribers.  This will
allow us to add features like off-host routes, content transforms,
and ZODB persistence module.

Improving little by little,
   Adam
