Not really no.
But if you limit yourself to platforms having threading support is is a
normal inter-thread message problem. To my knowledge all platforms have
threading support today.

ICAP would work for Content-Encoding but not for Transfer-Encoding, at
least not without some support from the core as it must maintain the
chunked stream state so message delimiting can be done correctly.
But the concept of using a separate process does work, as always. The
tricky part is efficient inter-process communication.
