Warning, the following idea is not even half baked.

It would be really nice if the new Wai allowed the implementation
(as a Wai application) of a full HTTP and HTTPS proxy capable of
stream data in both directions with constant space usage.

I was able to implement a proxy like this [0] with a hacked version
of Warp based on Enumerator and a version of Warp based on Conduit
0.2. For later versions of Conduit I was never able to get it to
run in constant space.

Happy to help in any way I can.

Cheers,
Erik
