Take your time, it's nice to know that you're still interested. :)

Yup. And I'll have to move away from Boost.Asio's iostream interface --
unless it actually implements a timeout on the stream that I don't know
about yet.

This is actually high time for the libPion HTTP client implementation to
move into the http::client implementation. I think if we can actually
unit-test parts of the parser(s), and then move the implementation into
the HTTP client we already have, we should be able to move forward at a
better pace -- with error condition checking, etc.

As for that, I'll have to wait for Mike's moving the files into the
repository to get me started on this. :)
