As requested by Dialtone, and to borrow liberally from what he wrote

It is conceptually pretty bad, and counter to existing abstractions in

I can't believe that the world's greatest networking platform *still*
doesn't have an adequately supported HTTP server!

I'm sorry.
While this is unfortunate, I don't think that there's really any reason
to apologize. This is a volunteer effort all around, and it's as much
my fault (and Ed's) that such a server doesn't exist.
In fact, David, if there are any people whose fault it *isn't*, it would
be you and dialtone. Thank you for your sustained (albeit intermittent)
efforts to get this done. (Of course, the bears and I reserve the right
to hassle you mercilessly to complete it.)
As I've annotated here, the issues that Ed outlined in his email are
pre-existing, with tickets describing them.
If anyone out there shares his frustration and would like to help us
along towards a supported web2 release, or any other part of Twisted for
that matter, just have a look at the Twisted tracker and steal a ticket
from some of the obviously overcommitted and overworked maintainers.
The milestone link I posted is the best start for web2.
Many of those tickets are underspecified, but don't let that stop you.
If you find a ticket that you think sounds interesting but you don't
understand how to proceed on it, feel free to comment and ask for
clarification - it is often far easier for a maintainer to respond to a
prompt for some answers to questions than to drive tests, documentation,
and code all the way through the review process.
