Let me explain my understanding.

Consider the following client-server.

          ---->
   clinet       server
          <----

In this case, server handles a pair of input and ouput. This fits
Iteratee model.

But consider proxy:

          ---->       ---->
   clinet       proxy       server
          <----       <----

This proxy must handle tow pairs of input ant ouput. In Haskell
netowrk programming, we typically prepares two user threads. 

Warp uses one thread and one Iteratee. So, only downloading can be
streaming and uploading results in store-and-forward.
