I would see this not as part of http support but CGI support on the
server-side. This is
very useful when you have your own server (like asio example) and you want
to keep
the CGI scripts that are not performance-sensitive.

Not sure what this feature implies and maybe not possible if asio doesn't
support pipes, right ?
