sorry..

so the callout protocol should be application agnostic. Otherwise we will
need patch it up for every new protocol (RTSP, SMTP and others) or its
updates. And yes, I believe we can make it application agnostic.

The question is whether the callout protocol itself needs "to 
understand HTTP", or whether the application logic can be build around 
a generic callout protocol.
