Several factors:

  * As Christoph noted, it relies on pcntl for much of its work. We're
    trying hard to stay OS agnostic, and since pcntl does not work on
    Windows, it makes it hard to justify supporting it.

  * Interest. Shahar did some initial work, but he has been too busy to
    continue with it. Nobody else has stepped up to help with
    development.

  * Scope. How much of the HTTP specification should it support? Should
    it support SSL over HTTP? Should it implement HTTP Auth? Should it
    allow returning binary files?
