HTTP_HEADER: - added put_last_modified

- added RFC1123 http date format helper
             - added put_cookie_with_expiration_date as DATE_TIME
REQUEST: added `execution_variable' to provide a way to keep object attached to the request
         and indexed by a string. A typical usage is a SESSION object
