Sounds like the patches that  Victor Boivie (
https://github.com/nmathewson/Libevent/pull/14 ) and  Cliff Frey (
https://github.com/nmathewson/Libevent/pull/15 ) have been working on
might be what you're looking for.  If I understand right, they both
try to add the ability to notice data as it arrives rather than when
the request or response is done.  (Note: I might not in fact
understand right!)

I'd love to see more comment on these, BTW.  As it is, I think that
the right answer is to merge Cliff's patches into 2.1, but I'd like
the opinion of people who use evhttp more than I do.
