Definitely something worth starting to implement. A functional client should be alright, and I think I can get a lot of input/help from Marshall on getting it done. I just don't feel like leaving the HTTP client/server implementation in the state it is currently in. People have been asking for the asynchronous and streaming HTTP client/server which makes a lot of sense and seems to be a cool enough challenge for me to tackle first. ;) Besides, a lot of my experience is really in this protocol so I'm more inclined to work on it. Although I would really support Marshall in his fixing the MIME library along with other things -- and maybe moving into the SMTP client implementation. >> >> That's cool!

I think there are a few things that stuck out, which are generally technical issues that seem to have some possible solutions that just need to get done -- like a lot of the work, it just takes time. :) >> >> We're running out of numbers in between 0.6 and 1.0 (assuming that we >> stop at 0.9 and "upgrade" to 1.0) so it would be good if we can get a >> move on with these things.
