REST-full web services can definitely be already implemented with the
HTTP server template. Are you looking for an example on how to do
this? A framework wouldn't be very hard to implement, but will depend
largely on conventions that most web services already need -- URI
handling/routing, request parsing, REST method dispatch, etc. I'll
look into writing up a simple example and then allowing others to
extend into a full framework. I can be involved in that process too
and it would be interesting to see where that goes.

As far as XML is concerned, it might be outside the scope of the library.

Thanks very much for the links, I've read pretty much all of these before. :)

Thank you very much too, I'll look into implementing the web framework
parts in an example first and let others pick up if they find it
interesting to work on too. I'll schedule that in the 0.8 release and
focus on the HTTP parts for 0.7.

Have a great day and I hope this helps!
