The main client stuff was pretty solid in my experience, however I never
really used the HTTPSRV application in anger. I think he has been spending
his time on that, and making it handle lots of connections on seriously
limited hardware, so for that you're going to need to implement some tight
threading or something, so that's probably where his stability enhancements
are going. Will be interesting to see what his changelog shows when he
releases.

Cheers,
Al
