Why don't you use cowboy?

https://github.com/extend/cowboy it's way better written and documented.

Before starting off with Spooky I was reading the code of Nitrogen and Chicago Boss, neither of which have had support for Cowboy at that time, if I remember correctly.

It would make sense to abstract the actual HTTP lib away though so one can freely chose.

Yeah, cowboy is kinda new, but it's already stable. I recommend you to suggest using it.
