One minor correction, HTTP is not always half-duplex.
HTTP/1.1 is a full-duplex protocol when chunked-encoding is used in both directions to stream. Ie. a client can POST variable-length data with chunked-encoding, and a server can respond with variable-length data with chunked-encoding. This allows HTTP to be used for things like tunneling, video applications, etc.

Thanks for that info. I didn't know about chunked encoding.

Web Server/Sun ONE Web Server 6.x support this feature.

That doesn't surprise me. The implementors of those products were very thorough. (Good job!)
