-curl the next few years - perhaps
-=======================
-
-Roadmap of things Daniel Stenberg and Steve Holme want to work on next. It is
-intended to serve as a guideline for others for information, feedback and
-possible participation.
-
-New stuff - libcurl
-===================
-
-1. http2 test suite
-
-2. http2 multiplexing/pipelining
-
-3. SPDY
-
-4. SRV records
-
-5. HTTPS to proxy
-
-6. make sure there's an easy handle passed in to curl_formadd(),
- curl_formget() and curl_formfree() by adding replacement functions and
- deprecating the old ones to allow custom mallocs and more
-
-7. HTTP Digest authentication via Windows SSPI
-
-8. GSSAPI authentication in the email protocols
-
-9. add support for third-party SASL libraries such as Cyrus SASL - may need to
- move existing native and SSPI based authentication into vsasl folder after
- reworking HTTP and SASL code
-
-10. SASL authentication in LDAP
-
-11. Simplify the SMTP email interface so that programmers don't have to
- construct the body of an email that contains all the headers, alternative
- content, images and attachments - maintain raw interface so that
- programmers that want to do this can
-
-12. Allow the email protocols to return the capabilities before
- authenticating. This will allow an application to decide on the best
- authentication mechanism
-
-13. Allow Windows threading model to be replaced by Win32 pthreads port
-
-14. Implement a dynamic buffer size to allow SFTP to use much larger buffers
- and possibly allow the size to be customizable by applications. Use less
- memory when handles are not in use?
-
-New stuff - curl
-================
-
-1. Embed a language interpreter (lua?). For that middle ground where curl
- isn’t enough and a libcurl binding feels “too much”. Build-time conditional
- of course.
-
-2. Simplify the SMTP command line so that the headers and multi-part content
- don't have to be constructed before calling curl
-
-Improve
-=======
-
-1. build for windows (considered hard by many users)
-
-2. curl -h output (considered overwhelming to users)
-
-3. we have > 160 command line options, is there a way to redo things to
- simplify or improve the situation as we are likely to keep adding
- features/options in the future too
-
-4. docs (considered "bad" by users but how do we make it better?)
- A - split up curl_easy_setopt.3
- B - split up curl.1
-
-5. authentication framework (consider merging HTTP and SASL authentication to
- give one API for protocols to call)
-
-6. Perform some of the clean up from the TODO document, removing old
- definitions and such like that are currently earmarked to be removed years
- ago
-
-Remove
-======
-
-1. cmake support (nobody maintains it)
-
-2. makefile.vc files as there is no point in maintaining two sets of Windows
- makefiles. Note: These are currently being used by the Windows autobuilds
