Chris, David, et al I (dare I say we?) do not have any concrete ideas in mind at this point. We would like to leverage our expertise based on several years of experience with client side HTTP to extend the scope of the project into the server realm. The whole point is that this should open up a lot of opportunities for other people to join and start contributing (ideas or code) and build upon the existing code base. Beyond that, anything goes: embedded lightweight HTTP server, caching API, what not. If HttpClient project end up being to constraining, there is always possibility to spin off or join another project provided there's a healthy community of contributors and users. So, we do welcome new ideas/critique, new users, and potentially new contributors.
