This PR removes some of the more technical decision points. These do not make much sense as an extension point for the user. The remaining internal decision points, mostly branches depending on the request method are dimmed in the graph now.

Removed decisions:

  • accept-exists?
  • accept-language-exists?
  • accept-charset-exists?
  • accept-encoding-exists?
  • if-match-star
  • if-modified-since-exists?
  • if-modified-since-valid-date?
  • if-unmodified-since-exists?
  • if-unmodified-since-valid-date?
  • if-none-match-exists?
  • if-none-match-star?
  • if-match-exists?
  • if-match-star?

All changes are made backward compatible, except that the decisions ...-available? and those of conditional request must take into account that the header value can be absent or a special value, e.g. * in etag-matches-for-if-match.

This is the new graph:

Makes sense to make user extensions fit with sensible areas the user wants to specify, rather than allowing the user to subvert http semantics by overriding decision points that don't make sense.

The decision points that decide on the existence of the
Accept-... headers have been there just because of technical reasons and
did not had any practical application. In fact they cluterred the
decision graph and added noise.
Remove *-valid-date? and *-exists and more internal decision points
which did not make sense to be customized. The decision logic has been
incorporated into the implementation into the actual decision points.

Removes

* if-match-star
* if-modified-since-exists?
* if-modified-since-valid-date?
* if-unmodified-since-exists?
* if-unmodified-since-valid-date?
* if-none-match-exists?
* if-none-match-star?
* if-match-exists?
* if-match-star?

Cleaned up the graph a bit, making it more compactly drawn and improved the trace view highlighting
