curl

    1: curl the next few years - perhaps
    2: =================================
    3: 
    4: Roadmap of things Daniel Stenberg wants to work on next. It is intended to
    5: serve as a guideline for others for information, feedback and possible
    6: participation.
    7: 
    8: HSTS
    9: ----
   10: 
   11:  Complete and merge [the existing PR](https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/2682).
   12: 
   13:  Loading a huge preload file is probably not too interesting to most people,
   14:  but using a custom file and reacting to HSTS response header probably are
   15:  good features.
   16: 
   17: DNS-over-TLS
   18: ------------
   19: 
   20:  Similar to DNS-over-HTTPS. Could share quite a lot of generic code.
   21: 
   22: ESNI (Encrypted SNI)
   23: --------------------
   24: 
   25:  See Daniel's post on [Support of Encrypted
   26:  SNI](https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2019-03/0000.html) on the mailing list.
   27: 
   28:  Initial work exists in https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/4011
   29: 
   30: thread-safe `curl_global_init()`
   31: --------------------------------
   32: 
   33:  Fix the libcurl specific parts of the function to be thread-safe. Make sure
   34:  it can be thread-safe if built with thread-safe 3rd party libraries.
   35:  (probably can't include `curl_global_init_mem()` for obvious reasons)
   36: 
   37: tiny-curl
   38: ---------
   39: 
   40:  There's no immediate action for this but users seem keen on being able to
   41:  building custom minimized versions of libcurl for their products. Make sure
   42:  new features that are "niche" can still be disabled at build-time.
   43: 
   44: MQTT
   45: ----
   46: 
   47:  Support receiving and sending MQTT messages. Initial work exists in
   48:  https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/3514
   49: 
   50: Hardcode “localhost”
   51: --------------------
   52: 
   53:  No need to resolve it. Avoid a risk where this is resolved over the network
   54:  and actually responds with something else than a local address. Some
   55:  operating systems already do this. Also:
   56:  https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dnsop-let-localhost-be-localhost-02
   57: 
   58: "menu config"-style build feature selection
   59: -------------------------------------------
   60: 
   61:  Allow easier building of custom libcurl versions with only a selected feature
   62:  where the available features are easily browsable and toggle-able ON/OFF or
   63:  similar.
