Adding http support to the library is a possibility, and has been discussed before. It's _not_ part of the SoC project though: at best it'll be added later, assuming all goes well. That said, http support isn't likely to be safe for use as a public 'server' at any point: that's a huge task and one probably far beyond the realm of any single library.
I would see this not as part of http support but CGI support on the server-side. This is very useful when you have your own server (like asio example) and you want to keep the CGI scripts that are not performance-sensitive. Not sure what this feature implies and maybe not possible if asio doesn't support pipes, right ? thanks
