Okay talked with Ivan and Lieven on IRC and they explained why this isn't an option. Essentially Serf isn't as efficient as Neon was with doing CL requests. We produce a temp file with the body, then send the data to serf which would produce another temp file and calculate the size. Which makes this suggestion a bad idea.
