Hi, my two cents on a couple of the above questions, 1. Whether we want to support request pipelining on the server side. It is certainly a nice feature to have, but on most browsers it is disabled by default, mostly due to the head of line blocking it creates, and existing buggy proxy implementations, thus I'd leave it out for now, it shouldn't be a priority of any kind in my opinion. > 2. Whether we want to make it more like a Java framework. I've personally never liked Java that much, but in what way ? > 3.

I've previously used libevent, a library in which this object is unified, and it has been a pain in writing a wrapper. I would certainly advise against unifying them from this experience, although they obviously share quite a bit of common ground. It might be nice to have a look at http://monkey.org/~provos/libevent/doxygen-2.0.1/http_8h.html, as they support most of the HTTP 1.1 specification, on how they've designed their API. > 4.

Support for a dispatcher is what comes to mind first of all, thus a system using which you can registers handlers for URI requests from the server. I've currently written something trivial of this kind using boost::startswith, but this can be a lot more general, and extended to support boost::regex and boost::xpressive for example. As a sidenote, note that requestst can be an absolute URI in HTTP 1.0, which you need to strip down to an absolute path for such a dispatcher for example. Support for virtual hosts could for example also be achieved using this. If I come up with more tomorrow, I'll write up a more extensive reply.
