QUIC
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
The standardization process of QUIC has been taken to the IETF and can be
|
||||
followed on the [IETF QUIC Mailing
|
||||
list](https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/quic). I'd like us to get on the
|
||||
bandwagon. Ideally, this would be done with a separate library/project to
|
||||
handle the binary/framing layer in a similar fashion to how HTTP/2 is
|
||||
implemented. This, to allow other projects to benefit from the work and to
|
||||
thus broaden the interest and chance of others to participate.
|
||||
See the [QUIC wiki page](https://github.com/curl/curl/wiki/QUIC).

curl_formadd()
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
Or perhaps even better: revamp the formpost API completely while we're at it
|
||||
and making something that is easier to use and understand:

Third-party SASL
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
Add support for third-party SASL libraries such as Cyrus SASL.

Simplify the SMTP email
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
Email capabilities
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Allow the email protocols to return the capabilities before
|
||||
authenticating. This will allow an application to decide on the best
|
||||
authentication mechanism.
|
||||
|
||||
Win32 pthreads
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
Allow Windows threading model to be replaced by Win32 pthreads port.
|
||||
|
||||
Dynamic buffer size
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
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.

give one API for protocols to call).
