To Do List for neon -*- text -*-
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
Please submit feature requests to <mailto:neon@webdav.org>
|
|
|
|
For one-point-oh
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
40. XML body acceptance callback should check Content-Type. Should
|
|
also pass encoding to expat if one is given (how about libxml?).
|
|
Recent mod_dav's return XML bodies in 424 responses which need
|
|
parsing properly.
|
|
|
|
44. Finer-grained connection status feedback, i.e., "Sent Request",
|
|
"Got response status-line"... "Reading response body"
|
|
|
|
58. 2616 is quite strict about when to retry non-idempotent requests
|
|
and when not to. neon may not be compliant here.
|
|
|
|
62. Select which auth mechanisms are allowed, e.g. JUST SAY NO to
|
|
basic might very well be useful to some apps.
|
|
|
|
64. Add options to only enable SSLv2 support, etc.
|
|
|
|
Longer term
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
2. Add proper domain support to authentication code. (requires full
|
|
URI parsing support). Need to tell the auth layer the server
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
6. PUT with ranges... ne_put_range
|
|
|
|
9. DeltaV support (http://www.webdav.org/deltav/). See also the
|
|
subversion project (http://subversion.tigris.org/) who might build
|
|
a versioning system over DAV.
|
|
|
|
10. ACL support (http://www.webdav.org/acl/)
|
|
|
|
11. DASL support (http://www.webdav.org/dasl/). Xythos have server
|
|
support for this (www.sharemation.com). The UI is probably the
|
|
hardest problem here.
|
|
=> Jim Whitehead's UCI postgrad team is working on this and
|
|
has written a DASL implementation.
|
|
|
|
14. Improved request-header manipulation... some kind of indexed table
|
|
(a la Apache, libghttp, so we're sure we don't add the same header
|
|
to the request twice. Better control over adding Cache-Control
|
|
headers would be good too.
|
|
|
|
17. Should we really be i18n'izing the low-level error messages in
|
|
ne_request.c, ne_207.c ? It seems nice and clever to, so the user
|
|
REALLY know what is going wrong with the server (probably), but it
|
|
is maybe a bit frightening.
|
|
|
|
21. Storing multiple authentication "sessions" within an actual
|
|
auth_session, so I can log into e.g. /foo/ and /bar/ (which are
|
|
not in the same authentication domain) and switch between them
|
|
without having to re-enter passwords all the time.
|
|
|
|
35. Allow i18n'ization if building a shared library, iff gettext
|
|
support is on the system (and hence add -lintl or whatever to
|
|
NEON_LIBS). If system has no gettext support, then it's probably
|
|
impossible to support i18n in the library (although *applications*
|
|
can support it by bundling gettext themselves). Take a look at how
|
|
other libraries handle this.
|
|
|
|
46. Asynchronous request-dispatching? Makes integration into GUI loop
|
|
easy... any other reasons? Must leave existing request_dispatch
|
|
interface intact.
|
|
|
|
50. opendir/readdir/closedir-esque interface for PROPFIND depth 1,
|
|
a la EZDAV. (cadaver has it already)
|
|
|
|
53. "ne_session" concept is hazy. Abstract out a "connection" concept
|
|
too, and allow >1 connection per-session in multi-threaded use,
|
|
somehow.
|
|
|
|
57. Add function to map of status-code values to i18n-ized reason
|
|
phrase.
|
|
|
|
65. Add ne_uri_copy function and use it in ne_lock_copy. (patch
|
|
sent to neon@webdav.org)
|
|
|
|
66. Useful for subversion/ra_dav:
|
|
|
|
- a hook which runs *after* the response headers are read,
|
|
but *before* the response body is read
|
|
