Akka-http: connect to the world
summary
akka-http claims to be spray’s successor: a Scala client-and-server HTTP stack built on reactive streams backpressure so proxies can stream multi‑GB responses without blowing memory, and on Akka IO for pluggable transports. It exposes streamy connection flows for client and server, a typed routing DSL plus marshalling/unmarshalling hooks, gzip and planned WebSocket support. Server APIs are nearly complete, client work lags, initial performance is noticeably slower than spray but expected to be optimized; a usable release targets November.
