Dean,
I think we could combine cpp-netlib's messaging classes with pion's HTTP parsing classes to establish a basis for HTTP processing and provide client-side support for HTTP/1.0 and 1.1.
FWIW, I'm familiar with both libpion and cpp-netlib and I would agree that a crossover here would be of benefit to both groups.
They both seem like sensible approaches to me. In either case, I think that HTTP would be a good starting focus for both, to get a working foundation incorporated into boost. We could always submit additional protocols independently for review as their implementations are finished.
I completely agree with this too. I think there are other individuals who want to work on other protocols using cpp-netlib, but at different speeds and more independently. I think this is the best way to make progress. Glyn
