1. libcurl
-1.1 Zero-copy interface
-
- Introduce another callback interface for upload/download that makes one less
- copy of data and thus a faster operation.
- [http://curl.haxx.se/dev/no_copy_callbacks.txt]
-
1.2 More data sharing
curl_share_* functions already exist and work, and they can be extended to
internally use and assume the multi interface. The select()-loop should use
curl_multi_socket().
-2.3 Avoid having to remove/readd handles
-
- curl_multi_handle_control() - this can control the easy handle (while) added
- to a multi handle in various ways:
-
- o RESTART, unconditionally restart this easy handle's transfer from the
- start, re-init the state
-
- o RESTART_COMPLETED, restart this easy handle's transfer but only if the
- existing transfer has already completed and it is in a "finished state".
-
- o STOP, just stop this transfer and consider it completed
-
- o PAUSE?
-
- o RESUME?
-
2.4 Fix HTTP Pipelining for PUT
HTTP Pipelining can be a way to greatly enhance performance for multiple
Make curl's SSL layer capable of using other free SSL libraries. Such as
MatrixSSL (http://www.matrixssl.org/).
-7.8 Support SRP on the TLS layer
-
- Peter Sylvester's patch for SRP on the TLS layer. Awaits OpenSSL support for
- this, no need to support this in libcurl before there's an OpenSSL release
- that does it.
-
7.9 improve configure --with-ssl
make the configure --with-ssl option first check for OpenSSL, then GnuTLS,
Is this even possible?
-8.2 SRP
-
- Work out a common method with Peter Sylvester's OpenSSL-patch for SRP on the
- TLS to provide name and password. GnuTLS already supports it...
-
8.3 check connection
Add a way to check if the connection seems to be alive, to correspond to the
This can be useful to tell when support for a particular feature hasn't been
compiled into the library.
+11.9 IPv6 addresses with globbing
+
+ Currently the command line client needs to get url globbing disabled (with
+ -g) for it to support IPv6 numerical addresses. This is a rather silly flaw
+ that should be corrected. It probably involves a smarter detection of the
+ '[' and ']' letters.
