I don't know Swazoo well enough to do a fair comparison.  I know I like 
the service management framework, the logging infrastructure and the 
module framework in Comanche.  All of those things really have nothing 
to do with HTTP itself.  Swazoo probably does have a better model of 
HTTP messages and certainly more features.  I think both could use a 
complete re-write of the HTTP message model (sticking very close to the 
RFC).  It might be worth combining the best aspects of both.
