How do I set the header for my request > in ocamlnet? [...] The Convenience-Module is very convenient for simple things, IMHO. I have tried it and found it very funny to use. But I think for more sophisticated things you have to use the other modules. I'm not sure, but I think (as far as I have seen it) the Convenience-module is not powerful enough for special things. There are a lot of other modules that can do what you want. (No example here, because for my simple needs when I have looked at it, I was happy enough with the Convenience module). Ciao, Oliver
