Hi,
it might be cool (and not too complicated) to (optionally) expose 1xx
responses to the caller (see
<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc2616.html#status.1xx>).
This could be done through an opt-in, such as specifying a callback
function to be called asynchronously when the messages come in
(returning status line and headers).
I know, I know: few use cases. But that's of course because HTTP stacks
currently do not provide support for it.
See <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-decroy-http-progress-04> for an
older proposal, which, as far as I recall, got experimental support in
Chromium.
Sounds like a good idea, + is this not needed to allow servers to tell
clients to Upgrade to HTTP+TLS or WebSockets?
Best,
Nathan
