[swift-server-dev] HTTP Parser

[Logan Wright]

Hey everyone, I think it's about time we do some of the http sub-team
kickoff. We can discuss some of the topics in here and more generally start

Here's the doodle for interested. We're shooting for the week of the 21st.
We'll also collect minutes for those who can't make it.
