Thanks.
I'm using c++ and it is a software product for win/unix.
I need the part that retrieves the request, parse the http and gives me as
a developer the http request as a structure (hides from me the details
of chunks, gzip and all other protocol stuff).
Also, a very important feature is having the ability to return the
response asynchronously to the client.
This is because I'm sending the processed request to another server.
for example:

HttpLib::OnHttpRequest(req)
{
// do some stuff

// send req to another server asynchronously (non-blocking)
SendToAnotherServer(req, myCallbackFunc)

return WAIT_FOR_RESPONSE
}

myCallbackFunc(req, my_response)
{
// send the http response back to client.
req->response = my_response
HttpLib::SendResponse(req)
}
