Will it be useful for implementing a library to do media streaming?
The connections could be long-lived in media streaming.

I agree. Server-side use will also be confined to very special purposes, as
common server-side APIs like Servlet API and Portlet API are based on
traditional IO. But special purpose server applications is just the niche
where HttpComponents can shine.

Ok, I'll find time for that.

Once we have stabilized a new design on the client side, we should at least
consider to restructure the server side based on the same principle.
Implementation classes at least - AbstractHttpConnection will loose it's
purpose, I'm afraid.

Go ahead. I'll let you know about JavaDoc warnings :-)
