Cool.

In any case, to actually add something constructive,
the required behavior is part of the psgi spec:

I somehow doubt that, looking at placks changelog vs. anyevents changelog.
But hey, you are probably entitled to your claims :)

Just returned from the german perl workshop - no plack.

Not that this does in any way diminish plack's popularity or usefulness,
but maybe you should work more on being constructive regarding the OP's
problem rather than doing PR?

Isn't that exactly what he is using? He tried to use AnyEvent::HTTPD,
which to me looks as plack-compatible as the frameworks you mentioned, and
also allow web apps to query other web servers.

Do I miss something obvious?
