"""
Gregory Trubetskoy, May 1998

This is a server-specific module, and isn't meant to be used directly.

Any server-specific behaviour can be implemented in this module.

Here we redefine the RequestHandler.Send() function. This is done by
replacing it in the httpdapi module. This works because once the
httpdapi module is "imported" in here and modified, every subsequesnt
import will use the already imported version with our modification in it.

This is why you shouldn't use "reload" with httpdapi because the
module-specific stuff will dissapear.

I guess this is neither inheitance nor polimorphism - but something
cool you can do in Python (parameterized types?).
