Looks fine to me :-)

OK, I thought it probably was a problem with the test rather than with the
library, when I was looking at the source of GSHTTPURLHandle on the coach
this morning.  But I didn't get as far as finding that lifetime :-).

BTW, in basic.m there are some tests which will fail based on the
configuration of the host machine - i.e. if you're not connected to the
network then trying to get anything from www.w3.org will fail.  Is it
worth creating another "helper" server to run locally which could respond
with a variety of HTTP statuses?  If so I could do that.

Cheers,

Graham.
