[acaciocenteno]

@SolidWallOfCode sorry for the delay. See if this is what you want. Let me know if you need me to change anything.

Re: [trafficserver] UUID Proposal (#199)

I'll take a look. Can you close out PR 106, since this supercedes that? I don't want to close it out from under you. Thanks.

I'll take a look at this. Is there a Jira for this?

[zwoop]

Ping. Can we get a Jira for this? I'm ready to start working on this, sorry for the delay.

In addition to the proposals here, I think we should generalize this concept. There are many other use cases for this approach, such as replacing the IP in the Via header with he "machine" UUID. As such, we should make this generically available.

Talking at the github meeting on this. It shouldn't use boost and the code needs some cleanup.

@zwoop volunteered to shepard this pull request.

Ping @acaciocenteno Are you still working / interested in this? We all want this, just needs a little tweaking, and generalize the UUID functionality to be a core component.

[zwoop]

I'm going to start doing some work on this, unless I here back, I'll close this PR once I've incorporated the changes we want to retain from here. I'll of course make sure to attribute the contributions accordingly.

I'm going to close this one. I have landed the plumbing for UUID in various components. @acaciocenteno if you want these changes on the HttpSM debug statements, can you open a Jira please?
