I wanted to have an automatic WAR indexer, based on the Zip indexer to do 
that, but I didn't have time to do it, and with some WAR files I tested, 
it was almost impossible to deploy them by automatic means (most probably 
I use buggy ones :) ).
ANyway it's still on my todo list.

It looks like reinventing a binary HTTP to talk faster than regular HTTP 
proxying.
It might be easy to do that by creating a new manager ala 
HttpManager or MuxClient.
I'll put that on my TODO list as well.
