* Introduce an interface to libcurl that allows applications to easier get to
know what cookies that are received. Pushing interface that calls a
callback on each received cookie? Querying interface that asks about
existing cookies? We probably need both.

* Run-time querying about library characterics. What protocols do this
running libcurl support? What is the version number of the running libcurl
(returning the well-defined version-#define). This could possibly be made
by allowing curl_easy_getinfo() work with a NULL pointer for global info,
but perhaps better would be to introduce a new curl_getinfo() (or similar)
function for global info reading.
* Add asynchronous name resolving (http://daniel.haxx.se/resolver/). This
should be made to work on most of the supported platforms, or otherwise it
isn't really interesting.

* "Content-Encoding: compress/gzip/zlib" HTTP 1.1 clearly defines how to get
and decode compressed documents. There is the zlib that is pretty good at
decompressing stuff. This work was started in October 1999 but halted again
since it proved more work than we thought. It is still a good idea to
implement though. This requires the filter system mentioned above.
