Would definitely welcome any improvement/enhancement - personally I'd
like to see it as a parallel implementation initially, so we can look
at both side by side. And then later, if/when everyone is happy and
has moved across then we could look to deprecate the existing one.
My motives are purely selfish here - we have a lot of live users on
the current implementation, and have had a couple of issues in the
past where changes broke these implementations. So it'd be good to be
able to stage any migration.
Even if we replace the existing impl, the old binary and source releases
do not go away, so no one would be forced to upgrade before they were
ready...of course, if there is some irreconcilable incompatibility
between the two then we'd have an issue, but I doubt that would be the
case since they are supposed to be implementing the same spec.
Well, it sounds like there is sufficient interest, so it would be great
if Sten could make it available for people to play with via JIRA.
What do you think, Sten?

On the plus note - although our usage is quite basic, we do stick
strictly to what OSGi exposes as the HttpService API layer and use no
other features. So we make quite a good test site to ensure the
fundamentals of the base API are working as per the spec.
