This project has come up at just the right time. There will certainly be
some overlap between the proposed library and the library I'm working on for
the GSoC (a CGI library). I've been trying very hard to imagine how the
library can be structured so that HTTP and other protocols can in theory be
incorporated later on.

A networking and a CGI library are definitely distinct, but (IMHO) both
could really benefit from being interoperable and reusing code. I'm trying
to get my ideas down on paper at the moment; when they're done I'll put them
on the boost wiki (http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/soc/2007/cgi). If
you (or any others) have suggestions to help interoperability or see any
glaring flaws or crude assumptions I've made which hamper it, please tell
me! :)

Thanks,
Darren
