I've spent the past few days cleaning up http.lua functions, and
I'm pretty happy with the result I have now. Among other things,
I: o Updated the documentation on pretty much every function o
Updated the module documentation to discuss how to use http.lua,
along with an example o Changed the interface to http.pipeline to
work be significantly cleaner, and documented it (I also kept the
old interface, which prints a warning and calls the new function)
o Made functions 'local' that should have been, and that aren't
being used o Document and validate the 'options' table o Document
the 'response' table o Change nmap.registry.args.* to
stdnse.get_script_args() o Normalized indentation and style,
where possible, including function definitions ('function xxx()'
instead of 'xxx = function()'). 

This looks good. You can commit it.

In general, if you're making style changes only, and people aren't
likely to object to the style changes, you can just commit them
without asking. I appreciate you keeping backwards-compatible
pipeline functions.

I'm getting an error with the new pipeline functions:

NSE: 'http-userdir-enum' (thread: 0x106b520) against 64.13.134.52:80
threw an error! ./nselib/http.lua:1317: bad argument #1 to
'insert' (table expected, got string) stack traceback:
        [C]: in function 'insert'
        ./nselib/http.lua:1317: in function 'pipeline_add'
        ./scripts/http-userdir-enum.nse:81: in function
<./scripts/http-userdir-enum.nse:42> (tail call): ?

It looks wrong because http-userdir-enum is calling pipeline_add with
three arguments when it should be four.

Oops, I missed the 'all' argument somehow. I fixed it in two places in http-userdir-enum, it should be good now. 

Thanks, works well now.
