I've recently been researching this topic a bit, please correct me, if I'm wrong. There has been: 
    NetOptimist (available on BeBits with source via CVS)
Nirvane (don't remember the URL, but source also available) based on WebKit, KWQ still needs a lot of work 
    Themis (mentioned in wikipedia, no further clue)
Wow... Themis is mentioned in Wikipedia... I didn't see THAT coming... :) Anyways, Themis ground to a halt mostly because my main BeOS/OSBOS machine suffered a hard disk failure years ago now, and while I still have it, I can't seem to find a hard disk that will work in it. (I think the problem is that the motherboard is basically dying and and only certain hard disks will let it boot without setting off some kind of short in the board...) Then there was also the two other primary issues of 1) Mark Hellegers and I were the primary two developers and 2) Michael Weirauch (I think that's correct) started working for yellowTab, so development kind of trailed off.
I would love to resume work on it, but I haven't been able to get R5 or BeOS Max to work on my new machine (an Athlon 64 4800+) in either native or virtualized modes. Not yet at least... I just started toying around with virtualization under Fedora 7, and it seems promising at the moment...
Themis is under a MIT license, so if there's anything in it that would prove useful elsewhere, feel free to have at it. I'll also be happy to answer any questions I can regarding HTTP, cookies, and cache. As for Themis itself, it's primary deficiencies at the moment are the lack of a rendering engine and CSS support. I never got around to adapting Axel's CSS parser, and those that had moved towards doing that moved on to other projects shortly afterwards... :/
