serve as a guideline for others for information, feedback and possible
participation.
QUIC

SNI](https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2019-03/0000.html) on the mailing list.
HSTS

Complete and merge [the existing PR](https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/2682).
SRV records
-----------
Parallel transfers for the curl tool
------------------------------------
How to find services for specific domains/hosts.
This will require several new command line options to enable and control.
Improve
-------
1. switch to creating a list of all the transfers first before any transfer
is done
2. make the transfers using the multi interface
3. optionally fire up more transfers before the previous has completed
1. curl -h output (considered overwhelming to users).
Option to refuse HTTPS => HTTP redirects
----------------------------------------
2. We have > 200 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.
Possibly as a new bit to `CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION` ?
3. 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.
Option to let CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST be overridden on redirect
-------------------------------------------------------------
(This is a common problem for people using `-X` and `-L` together.)
Possibly as a new bit to `CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION` ?
Hardcode “localhost”
--------------------
No need to resolve it. Avoid a risk where this is resolved over the network
and actually responds with something else than a local address. Some operating
systems already do this. Also:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dnsop-let-localhost-be-localhost-02
Consider "menu config"-style build feature selection
----------------------------------------------------
Allow easier building of custom libcurl versions with only a selected feature
where the available features are easily browsable and toggle-able ON/OFF or
similar.
