Thanks for testing.  I didnt actually touch the http server part of the 
backend, so its still using QSocket.  I left it as is cause I need to 
figure out a workaround to handle canReadLine/readLine functions that 
QSocket provides.

I will try and look into that, if I can get together a box for a slave 
backend.  It may just be the hack I had to do on the backend to force it 
to process an incoming request before returning from the readyRead 
callback.  Before it would hand the socket off to a worker thread and 
return right away.
