Did I mention it would be Canadian beer? None of that watery stuff: this 
offer is a deal at any price!

Regarding Pierre's question about adding async HTTP to the standard 
library: I think my vote would go to "adding Medusa-like functions to 
SimpleAsyncHTTPServer". Medusa's great, it works just fine for me; I'm 
just not sure I see it being added to the standard library. It's not 
part of the *HTTPServer family, for one thing; why introduce an orphan?
