Yes. Doing a bit of refactoring by adding different flavor of filtering 
to it:

Yes... but I'm still not 100% clear about somewhat basic things like do 
you gzip a response first and then compute it's etag or the other way 
around... when requesting a range, does that apply to the encoded 
content or not... how does a conditional requests fits with a range 
request, etc...

At a more practically level, I have a small set of filters 
(ConnectionFilter, GZIPFilter, ETagFilter, ConditionalFilter, 
RangeFilter, MD5Filter, LogFilter) and  I would like to make sure they 
are ordered properly :)

Cheers,
