I have started looking at them, but they still need some work.   In
particular, before they can be integrated, we need a test for the http
chunking code which is still missing.   There are a couple of corner
cases that need to be tested first, before looking at connection
aborting makes sense.

So, perhaps if you have time, you could write a test case for http
chunking?  In particular, including cases, where the server or the
client prematurely closes the connection.
