Thank you very much!

In order of importance: HTTP 1.1, HTTP 1.0, HTTPS

I can see a command line interface as useful, but I think that would be a
separate project that would rely on the grizzly API.

Also, please add the ability to easily handle long running comet
connections, i.e. where the client does not close the connection after
sending the request but continues to receive data from the server over a
long period of time.
