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
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!
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. Coder needed!
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
we have fsproxy now.
Mozilla/Firefox have support for protocol plugins
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.
