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
flscmd should not to do stat before directory listing.
directory listing should not need to get 0 sized block. Needs total code
rewrite.
:long-term goals:
drop this library and use libfsp instead
LOCKING
better support for persistent keys - do not send cc_bye ? this should
be probably configurable
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.
