Here it is. 

Note I already sent the first patch a year ago:
 http://markmail.org/message/s4w4pmla4tzjkpsf

This set of patches only deals with HTTP GET requests, so all of http-push
is not taken care of.

As it is work in progress, some error handling might have regressions, but
the original error handling is not necessarily much better.

Also note I only rebased my one-year-old work on current master, and haven't
actually tested it, though, as the code hasn't changed much, I guess it
should be fine.

I hope someone will have an itch to scratch to improve the whole thing.
