I am very interested in this work. One thing missing is support for all HTTP methods, not just those in RFC 2616. As-is, something like WebDAV cannot be implemented. That probably means requestMethod should be a (Byte)String. What about something like sendfile(2) available on some platforms? To allow the server to make use of such optimizations, how about an optional alternative to the enumerator? Perhaps the app can optionally pass a path or an open fd back to the server in place of an enumerator, which allows servers to do any kind of buffering optimizations, etc, that they may know about, as well as using any platform-specific optimizations like sendfile. -- Michaeljohn Clement
