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

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

Radim Kolar's personal wishlist from 1997
*-high priority-*
 - show loosers online (finfo command) and server statz

TESTSUITE NEEDED:
Write a simple FSP protocol testing tool
Write a test suite using testing tool
test for remote buffer overflows
Test if >2GB files but <4GB works correctly with and without --disable-largefile

SECURITY BUGS:
symlink to FILE can escape from FSP root directory. OLD known problem.
symlink support must be reworked before `final` release.

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

PORTING
Sven's Slowaris 8 compile problem
still do not builds on freebsd 4 and FreeBSD 5 - non intel platforms?

NEEDS 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

LOCKING

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
command line arguments should have preference over config file

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!
manual page for fsetup.1

POSSIBLE NEW PROJECTS
FSP Proxy repeater - take a look at old code, but we have NAT and fspproxy
  today.
Experimental transfer HTTP over fsp transport

libraries and support for FSP protocol
======================================

DONE: FSP library for Java
DONE: FSP over HTTP
DONE: new small,light fsplib for C.
DONE: fsp backend in gftp

FSP plugin for Netscape/MSIE. 
  Not possible to write protocol plugins with Netscape 3 SDK,
  not sure about MSIE or Mozilla 
  we have fsproxy now.
FSP backend for APT
FSP support in major ftp programs: lftp,wget,curl
Gnome vfs2 plugin
AVFS plugin http://sourceforge.net/projects/avf

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.
