FSP SUITE TO DO LIST BY RADIM KOLAR
/* maintained by hsn -at- netmag * cz */

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

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
Sven's AIX compile problem
still not builds on freebsd 4 and FreeBSD 5 - non intel platforms?

NEEDS IMPROVMENT:

Client LIBRARY
:mid:
we should retune retry algoritm for better support lines with higher
  packed loss. On common internet lines current one works okay.
add more detailed stats from retry alg.
: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: 
normalize return error codes of all clients
write new clients for new commands - fpasswd finfo

:low:
add support for more sane fsplist file format (as used by warez
ppl) to fhostcmd
it looks like
#FSP Sites list
genie.lut.ac.uk        21   genie    / # small UK site

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
special defence against rapid/double fire clients (burst command in fspclient)
Native Supports for symbolic links (needed for mirroring Debian)
new LSTAT COMMAND

: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)

new toy
FSP Proxy repeater - take a look at old code, but we have NAT and fspproxy
  today.

PERFORMANCE:
host hashtable shrinking sometimes
stat cache pro FSP_STAT a ostatni staty
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
manual page for fmvcmd.1

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

DONE: FSP library for Java
DONE: FSP over HTTP
ALMOST DONE:  new small,light fsplib for C.
FSP plugin for Netscape/MSIE. 
  Not possible to write protocol plugins with Netscape 3 SDK 
  we have fsproxy now.
FSP backend for APT
Experimental transfer HTTP over fsp transport
FSP support in major ftp programs: lftp,wget,curl,gftp
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.
