Hmm, you're right. Perhaps the docstring should say "any MIME or protocol
headers". When I read the docstring the first time I assumed it didn't
include HTTP headers.
Maybe there's a better approach to the problem I'm trying to solve. I want
to add support for ETags to nnrss in Gnus. To do that, nnrss needs access
to HTTP headers. nnrss currently uses mm-url-insert which calls
url-insert-file-contents. Those seem like the right functions to use but
they don't provide access to the HTTP headers.
Should I try changing mm-url-insert so it doesn't use
url-insert-file-contents and gives access to the headers? I can also
advise one of the functions and have the advice fetch the headers. It
seems like it would be useful to have that functionality in
url-insert-file-contents (or some part of the URL package itself) but maybe
not.
What do you think?
Thanks!
