intended to serve as a guideline for others for information, feedback and
possible participation.
HTTP/2
------
Improve performance. Measurements and tests have shown that in several cases
doing transfers over HTTP/2 can be notably slower than the same transfer done
over HTTP/1. Some of that difference can be attributed the inefficient window
size handling currently in use but there are probably more to be learned and
worked on to optimize this.

implemented. This, to allow other projects to benefit from the work and to
thus broaden the interest and chance of others to participate.
TLS 1.3
-------
The new version of the TLS protocol is in the pipeline and will soon start to
get used out in the wild. It offers some new interesting features and will
need the TLS libraries to adapt and quite likely provide additional or
modified APIs. libcurl needs to adapt accordingly.
HTTP cookies

HTTPS to proxy
--------------
To avoid network traffic to/from the proxy getting snooped on. There's a git
branch in the public git repository for this that we need to make sure works
for all TLS backends and then merge!
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
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:
