1. miss_access is controlled

2. special protocols are handled (cachemgr, internal, URN).

3. peer selection

4. a connection to the selected peer is opened

5. the connection is handed over to the specific protocol implementation
(HTTP, FTP, Gopher, WAIS, whois)

If the result of the request isn't satisfactory then it restarts at 4,
possibly with a different path selected.
