You can remove this comment.

[nweiz, 2012/10/31 18:20:59]

Done.

+  BaseResponse(
+      this.statusCode,
+      this.contentLength,
+      {this.headers: const <String>{},

Hmm, does this mean that if you don't provide any headers on construction that
you can't add any later? Is that intended.

[nweiz, 2012/11/02 19:29:12]

Yes, that's intended. A response is supposed to be read-only.

+       this.isRedirect: false,
+       this.persistentConnection: true,
+       this.reasonPhrase: null});

[Bob Nystrom, 2012/10/31 01:17:44]

Ditch ": null".

[nweiz, 2012/10/31 18:20:59]

Done.
