In regards to the HTTP specific code in the kernel. I have to say that
I do not like the idea of placing application specific code in the
kernel, but I do like the more 'general' idea of having the kernel
wait for data before returning.
Why not use the KLD mechanism to implement a more general 'loadable'
socket filter rather then hardwiring specific protocols into the
kernel? Then write a module for HTTP and the final result is that
you get the feature you want, and the kernel gets a very powerful
KLD socket-data filter mechanism.
