Maybe change this on:

	Accept: text/html, text/*

Then crawler can get all text type but prefer html. Later client or
server can convert for example .pdf, .doc or .odf files on .html files.
Plus here is still problem with servers which not send any content type
headers.


Maybe add: 

	Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate

too? For now C# client has it by default. This can save bandwith and if
i good saw, some servers give content only when it is set (example:
Wikipedia return other page on no compressed connection and other for
compressed)

I think header if-modified-since is good idea, this can save bandwidth
and work both for Grub and net servers.

I wish to test it but for now server with workunits again not works
(HTTP 500 error) ;) Maybe add to client options proposed by Balinny:
"Spam mailing-list on server error"? :D
