Hi Damien, thanks for the feedback. And you write emails like
MarkDown(?).

I'm familiarized with cppcms. The author wrote nice benchmark
projects/texts[1][2] that inspired me to try to achieve the same some
day.

I just did a fast incautious read through the project now that you
mentioned. It looks like it won't serve as inspiration to a generic
project like I want, but more like an implementation thing. I'll check
it appropriately and maybe comment more later anyway.

Yes, there was an interesting talk about HTTP/2.0 on linux.conf.au[3]
that I watched (thanks to the provided online records) several weeks ago
and I'll of course take that in account in my proposal.

I've never read about CoAP. Thanks for bringing this up. I'll check it
out.
