FSP SUITE TO DO LIST
====================

/* maintained by hsn -at- sendmail * cz */

See file BETA.README for long term plans

SCons build framework:
Supports for detecting cygwin environment and define OS_CYGWIN 1

TESTSUITE NEEDED:
Write a simple FSP protocol test suite using one
  of its client libraries (Java, C, Python, Perl)
automatic test for remote buffer overflows

POSSIBLE SECURITY BUG:
symlink to FILE can escape from FSP root directory. OLD known problem.

PROTOCOL-RELATED BUGS:
we should add real, portable error codes support to CC_ERR extended data area.

AREAS NEEDING IMPROVMENT:

Client LIBRARY
:low:
fver and others add support new syntax fsp://host:port/file

:long-term goals:
drop this library and use libfsp instead

CLIENTS 
:high: 
some client commands should exit with nonzero rc on failure

:low:
clients do not freeing memory allocated from glob()

FUTURE FEATURES FOR SERVER:
:high: required for 2.8.2 final
report number of clients connected, size of hostable in new command
 CC_INFO command
possible? special defence against rapid/double fire clients (burst command in fspclient)
Native Supports for symbolic links (needed for mirroring Debian)
new LSTAT COMMAND, new MAKELINK command

SERVER DIR LISTINGS
Server should save .FSP_CONTENT using 1k size directory blocks
Server should support sending different sized directory blocks

:midle:may not be in 2.8.2
write FSP_CHANGE_PASSWORD command
improve RENAME FSP command
  * cross directory renames are unsuported for now

:low:this will sure go after 2.8.2:
hashed passwords. Do we really needs them?
add switch for directory vs global ACL overide
hard code acl into server configuration, do not use .FSP_ filez.
support for user directory namespace ~hsn / public_html, check links to outside!
use ntons a podobne funkce v iprange.c
ipv6 socket support
privileged Hosts, excluded from Byte transfer Limit (hard to do)

PERFORMANCE:
do host hashtable shrinking/clearing sometimes
stat cache for FSP_STAT a other stat() calls
chage O(N) fifo cache to some more sane lru hashtable code.
background time() alarm() caller 
Current performance 1925648B/s

MAN:
separate manpage for 7 fsp (protocol definition) == write FSP RFC
Register udp/21 for FSP in http://www.iana.org/ FSP RFC needed!

LARGEFILES64 how to turn them on:
*-------------------------------*

Cygwin: #define __LARGE64_FILES fopen64,ftello64,fseeko64 _off64_t
glibc 2.3: #define _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE off64_t
native: _FILE_OFFSETS_BITS = 32 / 64 then use off_t
FreeBSD: in 5.X always enabled, in 4.X not supported.
