New XML config and config management needed

[GoogleCodeExporter]

XML-Validation is a good thing but only part of the story.
It would be cool if there was an additional test that checked the configuration 
for dependencies.
For example if you have a reference to a class, it would check if the class 
exists and this before you launch the application server.

Another thing that would be cool would be to split HTTPUtilities.
A quick look at the documentation shows that this interface is a case of 
excessive SRP* violation...

 * The HTTPUtilities interface is a collection of methods that provide additional security related to HTTP requests,
 * responses, sessions, cookies, headers, and logging.

-Sebastian Kübeck

* The Single Responsibility Principle is one
  of the oldest and most respected design principles...

I agree with this 100%. I'd like to do this before 2.0

This issue would then seem to be duplicated in issue #172.

172 is tagged with a different milestone.

This is different than 172, but I still bumped this milestone up to 2.1
