There's interest, sure enough. But this concurrency stuff was meant to be a Google Summer of Code project, so someone already getting started on (and completing a proof-of-concept for) these things leaves us in a bit of a weird place with regard to the current Summer of Code applicants we're sifting through. But perhaps you can post what you've done so far, and we can take a look at what there is, and what remains, and whether a summer-of-code student could adapt their needed work to fill in the gaps... As to HTTP header stuff... I had a hunch before that no one is using it much in practice, especially since it's a newer spec. But I'd imagine metalinker.org might; or if not, someone there could probably point you at a test server somewhere, or something. -mjc
