This is quite a large project.  Robin Mills intends to implement the daemon/web-socket support during Spring 2013.  The GSoC student is expected to implement the http I/O support.

I've been a volunteer on the Exiv2 project for 5 years.  I worked for Adobe for 10 years, where I implemented reading PDF and JDF files over http (without copying the complete file).  I'm now a freelance contractor and I've been working on a mobile app which uses WebSockets.  I've worked on both server and client code.
