I am not sure why you want to look so deep into the hood. Even on Microsoft side, the documents about http.sys may not provide you really valuable information if you are using the .NET Framework.

Though Mono is much more mature than a few years ago, we cannot say it has been tested by enough real-world applications like Microsoft.NET. So please test out your applications and submit issues you find to Mono team.
