yes it does but --trace[-ascii] has a lot of suplufous data and it is
in a seperate file.

The point is that it is that all headers are required to be in the
same file. Why split the headers into seperate files? This currently
requires to have both files open at the same time to read and
cross-refernce everything.

Why not have requests and reply and the data in the same file?
