The code I posted was not merged because it was experimental and I was not satisfied with what the architecture would look like in the long term. So I kept it handy "just in case" but didn't want to merge it. Now after several failed attempts and with a lot of design sessions with my coworkers, I've made a good progress on a totally different approach which will later allow us to implement HTTP/2 on both sides, as well as implement support for QUIC. I have not merged anything yet because as I'm picking code from the first implementation, I regularly encounter obstacles that I need to overcome and this leads to lots of rebases to keep only bisectable code. The good point is that the code that finally settles there is much better and contains much less hacks. If anyone is interested, I can publish a work-in-progress branch once in a while, but for now the code in this branch only supports establishing a connection and exchanging PING frames, so that's totally useless, which is why I've not considered publishing it for now :-/ If everything goes well, the final rebased and cleaned up code should be available for a release candidate by the end of the month. Stay tuned! Willy
