README

          
Python ICAP server implemented using asyncio. Contains classes for parsing and

handling ICAP requests, and higher-level objects for routing requests and

performing asynchronous operations.

Still very much in the early stages right now, although usable. API can be

considered reasonably stable.

TODO:

    - generated session IDs when X-Session-ID is not available.

    - Preview support

    - opt-body support

    - Cache-Control (prevent RESPMODs from lengthening expiration)

    - remove all hop-by-hop headers

    - ensure required authorization headers are preserved

    - Allow 206 support (see Squid option)

    - Automated parsing of multipart data (similar to POST parsing)

    - Lots more logging.

    - Streaming body support. ICAP supports the idea of early returns, so

      theoretically this is possible. It would be great to do this with

      coroutines.

    - Allow for particularly horrible yet perfectly valid HTTP.

    - SSL

    - Replace assertions with proper exceptions.

    - some operations need to run in threads/processes to prevent blocking the

      proactor (e.g. gzip encoding/decoding). Providing a nice wrapper

      interface on asyncio's process/thread deferral code would be good.
