In fairness though, it's very unlikely that Rust will be distributing an official HTTP library by 1.0 - it's a big, difficult, library, the type which deserves to prove itself in for awhile before settling on. For these types of libs my planned trajectory is to integrate with Servo, make them installable via the package manager, let them stew in the wild until we're confident, then 'flip a switch' and declare them official.
