* resthttp/osc: encapsulate RequestHandler-classes in their own namespaces to prevent class-name-lookup-errors in the debugger/code (had some weird crashes)
* QTKit: fixed a compile-bug for gcc and blocks
* osgPresentation: click_to_* will fire on RELEASE, only if the drawable received a PUSH beforehand
* p3d/osgPresentation: implemented "forward_mouse_event_to_device"-tag, which will forward mouse-events to all registered devices of a viewer, if an intersection occurs. The mouse-coordinates get reprojected
* present3d: all devices get registered with the viewer
* osgViewer: only devices which are capable of receiving events are queried for new events.
* GraphicWindowIOS: added a flag to GraphicWindowIOS::WindowData to set up a retained backing buffer (defaults to false) This will enable read-back of the render-buffer with glReadPixels even after the renderbuffer got presented
* curl: added an optimized check for file-existance, now only the headers are requested and checked, instead of reading the whole file and handle it with a ReaderWriter
* p3d: fixed a bug, where the existence of a local file may prevent the remote loading of a file with the same name.

* ZeroConfDevice does now return FILE_NOT_HANDLED instead of FILE_NOT_FOUND
* present3D supports multiple devices per env-var P3D_DEVICE, separate multiple device with a space
I refactored parts the p3d-plugin, the curl-plugin and parts of Registry and ReaderWriter. Currently the p3d-plugin tries to open all remote files with the help of the curl-plugin.
I added a new method to Registry called getReaderWriterForProtocolAndExtension. which will return a ReaderWriter which is capable in handling the remote file for the given protocol and extension. If no readerwriter is found for the given extension, a list is built of all readerwriters supporting the given protocol and this list is checked for support of wildcards (extension = "*"). If anything matches it get returned.
I added this principle also to the Registry, so now it's possible to register a generic ReaderWriter which can handle all filetypes for a given protocol, similar what curl is doing. All you have to do is to load the plugin at startup. The curl-fallback is still in place.
With these changes it is now possible to reference a movie inside a presentation without a server-address, read the presentation (with curl) and stream the movie with the correct plugin (e.g. QTKit)

Those two additional options can now be set using the Options::setOptionsString() function (just like the already existing OSG_CURL_PROXY & OSG_CURL_PROXYPORT options).
This is a convient solution to limit the freezing effect one may face in case the targeted server is down or too slow.
I successfully compiled and used this updated version on Windows in my application.
And by default those settings are not set (so no change in the behavior if you don't need them).

Background: when you access a file over HTTP, you cannot rely on a file extension being present; instead the file's mime-type is conveyed in the HTTP Content-Type response header. This facility adds a mime-type-to-extension map to the registry to handle this.
There are two new osgDB::Registry functions which are pretty self-explanatory:
void addMimeTypeExtensionMapping( mime-type, extension )
ReaderWriter* getReaderWriterForMimeType( mime-type )
I also added the file osgDB/MimeTypes.cpp which houses a hard-coded list of built-in types. I took the list from here (http://www.webmaster-toolkit.com/mime-types.shtml) and then pared it down to include mostly image and video types, editing them to map to existing plugins where possible.
In addition, I updated the CURL plugin to a) install a set of built-in mime-type mappings, and b) use them to look up an extension in the event that the target filename does not have an extension.
Here is a test case. This URL pulls down a JPEG (without a file extension):
osgviewer --image "http://us.maps3.yimg.com/aerial.maps.yimg.com/ximg?v=1.8&s=256&t=a&r=1&x=0&y=0&z=2"

If a 400 level error occurs, a FILE_NOT_FOUND ReadResult is appropriate.
If a 500 level error occurs (such a 503, Service unavailable), the application might want to try to load the file again in a few seconds/minutes. This submission returns ERROR_IN_READING_FILE if a 500 level error occurs so that clients can easily distinguish between the errors.
The actual error code is also added to the "message" of the ReadResult so if a client needs more information, they can just parse the message to retrieve the error code."
multi-threaded paging, where the Pager manages threads of reading local
and http files via seperate threads. This makes it possible to smoothly
browse large databases where parts of the data are locally cached while
others are on a remote server. Previously with this type of dataset
the pager would stall all paging while http requests were being served,
even when parts of the models are still loadable virtue of being in the
local cache.
Also as part of the refactoring the DatabaseRequest are now stored in the
ProxyNode/PagedLOD nodes to facilitate quite updating in the cull traversal,
with the new code avoiding mutex locks and searches. Previous on big
databases the overhead involved in make database requests could accumulate
to a point where it'd cause the cull traversal to break frame. The overhead
now is negligable.
Finally OSG_FILE_CACHE support has been moved from the curl plugin into
the DatabasePager. Eventually this functionality will be moved out into
osgDB for more general usage.
ReaderWriter::ReadResult now has a FILE_REQUEST enum.
ReaderWriter::Options now has a s/getAsynchronousFileReadHint() parameter methods.
libcurl based plugin now detects enabing of the AsynchronousFileReadHint, but
as yet does not handle async requests - handling everything syncronously.
DatabasePager now by default will enable AsynchronousFileReadHint for http
based file requests
