            REQUIREMENTS ON server_base 
                is an implementation of server/server_iostream_abstract.h

            WHAT THIS EXTENSION DOES FOR SERVER IOSTREAM
                This extension turns the server object into a simple HTTP server.
                It only handles HTTP GET and POST requests and each incoming request triggers the
                on_request() callback.  

            COOKIE STRINGS
                The strings returned in the cookies key_value_map should be of the following form:
                    key:   cookie_name
                    value: cookie contents; expires=Fri, 31-Dec-2010 23:59:59 GMT; path=/; domain=.example.net

                You don't have to supply all the extra cookie arguments.  So if you just want to
                set a cookie that will expire when the client's browser is closed you can 
                just say something like incoming.cookies["cookie_name"] = "cookie contents";

            HTTP HEADERS
                The HTTP headers in the incoming.headers and outgoing.headers are the name/value pairs
                of HTTP headers.  For example, the HTTP header "Content-Type: text/html" would be
                encoded such that outgoing.headers["Content-Type"] == "text/html". 

                Also note that if you wish to change the content type of your response to the 
                client you may do so by setting the "Content-Type" header to whatever you like. 
                However, setting this field manually is not necessary as it will default to 
                "text/html" if you don't explicitly set it to something.
