Hi Lego!

Some things I've recognized with "room for improvement" (unless reasons
I don't see).

You use the terms:

1.) "HTTP Requests by HTTP Host"
2.) "HTTP Requests by Server Address"

IMHO 1.) is a bit odd, better might be ""HTTP Requests by Server Name"
(true for both Request Tree and Server Tree)


In the Server Tree:

the Requests are divided into address and name, while the Responses
shows only the addresses, which makes the understanding more difficult
than it could be.
the Requests should first show the names branch and then the addresses
branch, as humans might find it easier to handle names first.

Any reason other than the laziness of the implementor? ;-)

What do you think?

Regards, ULFL
