Accept and From headers

I have successfully compiled the W3C Library on a Mac,
and am trying to write my application for which I need
to add 'Accept' and 'From' headers to a request, among
other things.

The documentation was only partially helpful about
how to do this, nor did I find the answer in the sample
applications. Do I have to use HTRequest_setConversion()?
If so, how do I add converters for 'Accept' headers?
And how about 'From' headers?

I had already implemented my application using libwww-perl,
and I'm finding that porting to C is harder than I thought.
So I would also appreciate hearing from people who have already
dealt with problems such as the following:

- implement compliance with standard for robot exclusion
- determine base url, expand relative urls, etc...

Please reply by email, as I do not subscribe to the list.

Thanks a lot,
Fil
