I have been refactoring my service loading application code recently, and I am moving away from my URLLoaderQueue in favor of classes that represent individual requests. After doing a few Flex projects, I really like the IResponder interface, and when using that in conjunction with the Command pattern, it just makes sense to have a URL request implementation that can use this responder interface. Much of this code is inspired by code in the Flex framework, but note that there are no Flex dependencies here. This code is designed for those that like the idea of IResponder and the Flex service classes but don’t want to get bogged down in the Flex.
