In that case, could you begin proving that point by having it write an http request parser. Let's make it easy and have it require content length header and no support for chunked encoding at first. Csn pick any language you like but since thats such critical infrastructure it must export a C API. Let's also restrict it to HTTP 1/1.1 for the sake of time.

Concidering this would probably at most take a days work to get at least a workable prototype done if not a full implementation, using an AI you should be able to do it in a lunch break.
