Interesting note that the network stack is implemented "as a mostly single-threaded (there are separate cache and proxy threads), cross-platform library."

I wonder if someone could extract that lib into its own project. It would be great to have a version of AFNetworking or Python's requests library built on top of this -- in order to take advantage of the advanced socket reuse and late binding stuff that he describes in the article.

But that's all without really looking at the code. Maybe there's just too much Chrome-specific stuff there.



It already exists! And works very well! Check it out: http://code.google.com/p/chromiumembedded/


This comes up periodically on chromium-dev. I've answered it here: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/d/msg/chromium-dev/....

In short, we don't want to support other consumers, sorry. Feel free to do code drops, they should work fine.
