My question is, what part of the system do you want somebody's thoughts about?
Let's go super-precise: "I'd like to implement support for HTTP-date in the handling of the Retry-After header for 503 responses in the download manager. Is there an existing API already to parse that header? Are there non-standard extensions to worry about? If there's an API already, does it take care of known non-standard extensions?" OK, that's very fine-grained (though not unrealistic - I really did get that question in the real world), so it's not a great example, but at least it's routable and actionable.
