It only has the regular sockets interface and other basic networking
functionality, like DNS querying. It's really only for providing the minimum
interface necessary for doing scalable, portable asynchronous I/O.

But I'm working on an application service framework using cqueues, and an
HTTP and WebSockets module would fit in well. (hint hint ;) The crux of the
project is to do away with traditional package management and dynamically
download modules on demand, making preinstalled modules not a requirement
but merely an optimization.

WebSockets could help with parallelizing module download requests.

My goal is to show the Node.js and Twisted crowd how it should really be
done ;)
