Just a question, why do you prefer this approach above building a customised HttpConnection that does the encryption/decryption itself? I already have a custmised HhttpConnection in place to deal with Apple modifying the HTTP Verb for Event handling. I would mean that I have to adapt OnFillable() to deal with decryption, and modify SendCallback to deal with encryption (e.g. the FLUSH case branch). And then in the application layer, whenever I derive the encryption keys, do an Endpoint.upgrade() to this customised class, and I would not have to deal with al the buffer dynamics of Endpoint itself
