A look at node's HTTP parsing code, 1500 lines of hand-coded and rather pretty C, makes it clear that Ryan Dahl cares a lot about HTTP in node doing the Right Thing. https://github.com/joyent/http-parser/blob/master/http_parser.c https://github.com/joyent/http-parser/blob/master/http_parse... (This is also very handy for people writing HTTP servers and clients in other languages, since it's independent of node, and really fast and feature-complete.)
