As I recall, it wasn't really possible to do any assessment because the 
"contribution" wasn't covered by the OCA. In addition, I think you said 
in one of the mails that it includes code from another project (for 
websocket or HTTP upgrade?) and it's a big deal to have to import and 
work through the license issues with 3rd party code.

At a high level it seems reasonable to update the HTTP server 
implementation to work better with virtual threads but updating it to be 
a more fully featured HTTP server goes beyond what this HTTP server 
was/is intended for.
