Status of the twisted.web HTTP client?

I am writing a Twisted-based proxy (http://xuproxy.sourceforge.net/). Currently, it is based on twisted.web2, since I started on it before the merge of twisted.web2's features into twisted.web, and at the time, both the twisted.web client and server were missing features that my proxy needed. From looking at the current development tree, it looks like the server now has all the features that my proxy requires, but the twisted.web client is sorely lacking for my purposes (it's HTTP/1.0 only and lacks support for persistent connections). Are there any plans to merge the full HTTP/1.1 support of twisted.web2's client into that of twisted.web?

Yes. JP has been working on an HTTP/1.1 client in: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/browser/branches/expressive-http-client-886-3 See also: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/886 James
