Subject: | (patch included) add ability to specify custom priority for HTTP::Config items |
Currently there is no way to specify a custom order for items returned from the matching
method in the HTTP::Config object.
I'm proposing the addition of a priority field in an item's %matchspec that is used as a sort key
before using the sort key's defined by the built-in matching rules. the priority field will be
treated as optional with item's not specifying it defaulting to a priority of 0.
I've written a patch to introduce this functionality and uploaded it to github here:
http://github.com/frett/libwww-perl/tree/handlerPriority
In the set of commits there is a test for the priority field, plus I updated the sorting code to
correctly support the new priority field.
