Worked fine, thanks.
Setting headers like this is a bit dumb. I even feel that 'send should be
simpler. When I want to send an email with, say "X-diddely-do: hello!" in
the header, I am forced to make a complete header-object, thus:
send/header [hallvard--ystad--helpinhand--com] "test" make object!
[X-diddely-do: "hello!" from: none to: none date: none]
The three nones are there for rebol to use my default settings. A simpler
and more reasonable way to do it, in my opinion, would be like this:
send/header [hallvard--ystad--helpinhand--com] "test" [X-diddely-do: "hello!"]
Rebol could then simply add [X-diddely-do: "hello!"] to the other headers.
In the same way, read could have a refinement like this:
read/header http://www.rebol.com/ [Accept: "text/html" user-agent: "007"]
I hope something like this will be implemented in future releases...

PS. Is there any good documentation for the /custom refinement block
dialect in 'read anywhere?
