Hi Divye,

Thanks for your expression of interest!

The following things need to be done for the release of version 1.0:

* HTTP 1.0/1.1 Client Implementation and Unit Tests
* Documentation
* Examples

As far as HTTP 1.0/1.1 is concerned, much of the work that needs to be
done has something to do with a better parser implementation than what's
currently in there. There was some expression of interest from the
libPion developers as far as incorporating the HTTP 1.1 parser they have
implemented (incremental HTTP 1.1 parser implementation) to be
incorporated/integrated into the library. This seems to be the more
involved effort that neither I nor the libpion developers have enough
time to be able to tackle.

There are some other protocols that seem interesting to implement. One
is XMPP and the other is ESMTP. These protocols won't be necessary for
1.0 release though, and the path is for 1.0 to be released then
submitted for review as part of Boost.

If you think you have time to take over the HTTP 1.0/1.1 client
implementatons and re-use the message primitive already at the base of
the library, that would be fine. Let me know what your sourceforge user
ID is so that either I or Glyn can add you to the project.

All kinds of help would be welcome.

Thanks again!
