Issue: How often (and what) is being tunneled through HTTP? [2]
Category: HTTP
Priority: important

Issue Description:
--------------------------------------------------------
Rather than incurring the extra packaging overhead in tunneling, it
would be nice to make HTTP-NG semantically (and mechanically) rich
enough so that tunneling was not required. Mike Spreitzer added what
should/will be converted to the lower RPC layer with what should/will
remain at the higher RPC layer? How much CGI activity is going on?
CGI typically causes an expensive process creation, with parameter
passing (clumsily) through standard IO. Designing HTTP-NG to avoid
the inherent overhead in this approach and to provide a well
structured/defined, argument and return value framework would be
beneficial.
