Trying to keep up ;-)

IMHO the network rewrite should go into the update stream soon (meaning: 
now ;-) ).
As Craig wrote in another mail it basically replaces the upper layers of 
the network code and decouples it from the raw network access by always 
going through SocketStream. This should make it easier to replace the 
lower levels by e.g. Flow without breaking applications using the 
protocol clients.

I just uploaded the latest version for 3.5 (should work in 3.6 too), 
please check if I broke anything (new).

I agree with the above :-)

Regarding http:
I started the rewrite, then realized that I should merge it with 
Comanche. Then seaside and later Comanche NG came up and I decided to 
wait a little to see which architecture would emerge in that context. 
Now might be a good time to take a look again.
