1.4 Get IP address
Add the following to curl_easy_getinfo(): GET_HTTP_IP, GET_FTP_IP and
GET_FTP_DATA_IP. Return a string with the used IP.
1.5 c-ares ipv6
Make libcurl built with c-ares use c-ares' IPv6 abilities. They weren't
present when we first added c-ares support but they have been added since!
When this is done and works, we can actually start considering making c-ares
powered libcurl the default build (which of course would require that we'd
bundle the c-ares source code in the libcurl source code releases).
1.6 configure-based info in public headers
Make the public headers include the proper system includes based on what was
present at the time when configure was run. Currently, the sys/select.h
header is for example included by curl/multi.h only on specific platforms we
know MUST have it. This is error-prone. We therefore want the header files to
adapt to configure results. Those results must be stored in a new header and
they must use a curl name space, i.e not be HAVE_* prefix (as that would risk
a collision with other apps that use libcurl and that runs configure).
Work on this has been started but hasn't been finished, and the initial patch
and some details are found here:
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2006-12/0084.html
The remaining problems to solve involve the platforms that can't run
configure.
1.7 signal-based resolver timeouts

out DNS lookups. When a timeout occurs, this causes libcurl to jump from the

Make sure we don't ever loop because of non-blocking sockets returning
EWOULDBLOCK or similar. The GnuTLS connection etc.
2.2 Pause transfers
Make transfers treated more carefully. We need a way to tell libcurl we have
data to write, as the current system expects us to upload data each time the
socket is writable and there is no way to say that we want to upload data
soon just not right now, without that aborting the upload. The opposite
situation should be possible as well, that we tell libcurl we're ready to
accept read data. Today libcurl feeds the data as soon as it is available for
reading, no matter what.

5.1 Other HTTP versions with CONNECT
When doing CONNECT to a HTTP proxy, libcurl always uses HTTP/1.0. This has
never been reported as causing trouble to anyone, but should be considered to

7.6 Provide callback for cert verification
OpenSSL supports a callback for customised verification of the peer
certificate, but this doesn't seem to be exposed in the libcurl APIs. Could
it be? There's so much that could be done if it were!
