The C# version is more of a hybrid though :). I started it because I 
couldn't really get a decent trace with just PHP on both ends.
It ended up having consumer/UA and server parts but in the current form it's 
more of a UI protocol debugging aid then something to really plug in an 
ASP.NET page as is.

My biggest concern though is that since I couldn't find a current spec 
consumer or server, I implemented both at the same time. I'd really like to 
test it (or the PHP version for that matter) against something someone else 
wrote to make sure I didn't just write something that works but isn't 
actually compliant with anything else before handing it off to someone else.

Also, there's a number of things I brushed over just because the protocol is 
still in flux ("Unhandled exception" is user friendly enough for me :) ) and 
some things I did wrong in retrospect.
I used the WebClient class mostly for convenience but (Http)WebRequest is 
really needed since it allows for a timeout and a redirection limit and a 
limit on the amount of data it's willing to receive.
