Where can I find information on this "under construction" HTTP service?
That is, I'd be willing to contribute to the development of a client ...

Sincerely,

The HTTP service is under construction, which will enable communications
through port 80. This requires work on the server side (the old
svc_http) and the client side (right now we really don't have any
HTTP-based clients). Hopefully in the next month or two we'll have some
working code on both sides of the equation.

Hope this helps.
