I just spent a while looking for this in my email archive - why was
this document not added to the technical/ dir?  Can we put it there?

Perhaps because it was marked as RFC and not much discussion went on?
Sorry, but I cannot keep mental bandwidth to remember the threads from 6
months ago while doing this as a part-time non-job ;-)

I understand, it wasn't meant as a criticism, I was just curious why
this file was never included.  That the series was marked as RFC makes
sense.  Could I request that this one patch be included?  Or if Shawn
has a more recent one?  I have found and extracted it and have it in a
topic branch locally, but if someone else wanted to reference it to
implement the HTTP stuff it would probably be really helpful to at
least have something in the main tree.

Thanks,
Scott
