A bit more on a higher level - Assuming we have a ZipEntryContext/Handler, does it know of the entries within that zip? I see a ZipEntryContext.entries Map in the code, but haven't yet figured out whether looking directly into this would indicate the presence/absence of a resource within the zip. So if a getChild(String path) is invoked, maybe looking into this "entries" would tell us whether it's present or not?
