Announcing LittleProxy 0.1 based on Netty

[Adam Fisk]

LittleProxy won't uncompress anything -- it'll just pass the content along
to the browser as is and let the browser handle it.

I expect this will be a frequent request, however, and I'll even need it
myself now that I think about it. I just added a ticket for it here:

http://dev.littleshoot.org:8081/browse/LP-3

It's slated for the 0.2 release with no scheduled release date as of yet.
This falls nicely in line with some of Trustin's latest commits on the trunk
as well. I have to look more closely at his changes before answering the
handler design question, though -- seems like this should be very little
work from what I understand of what he's been up to.

Thanks Gary.
