Understood. However if I find classes in a package with prefix "Zinc" and I google for "Zinc Pharo" the first thing that comes up is http://zn.stfx.eu/zn/index.html - Zinc HTTP Components Ok I'm really just nitpicking here but IMHO it would be nice to decouple these very useful classes from the Zinc namespace. -dirk
