Just for information: The CVS httpd already supports POST and multi-pbuf 
requests (and digest-auth would be nice, too). However, I've been 
getting used to callback-style programming, not only with lwIP, so (this 
is my very own personal opinion!) I don't think protothreads are 
necessary to make the server's code more readable. Aside from that, it's 
a shame we seem to have been working on the same without sharing the 
effort... :-( Anyway, I'd be happy to have a look at your code once it's 
ready and copy the digest auth for the CVS httpd if you allow me to! ;-)

For that, we could add a download area to the wiki for lwIP 
applications, just like we have one for drivers already.
