* Since USERPWD always override the user and password specified in URLs, we
might need another way to specify user+password for anonymous ftp logins.
* An option to only download remote FTP files if they're newer than the local
one is a good idea, and it would fit right into the same syntax as the
already working http dito works (-z). It of course requires that 'MDTM'
works, and it isn't a standard FTP command.
* Add FTPS support with SSL for the data connection too. This should be made
according to the specs written in draft-murray-auth-ftp-ssl-08.txt,
"Securing FTP with TLS"
* --disable-epsv exists, but for active connections we have no --disable-eprt
(or even --disable-lprt).
according to the specs written in draft-murray-auth-ftp-ssl-11.txt,

HTTP
* If the "body" of the POST is < MSS it really aught to be sent along with
the headers. More generally, if the last chunk of the POST body is < MSS,
it should be sent with the previous chunk (which may be the POST headers).
So long as any one send is larger than MSS (or there is only one send when
< MSS :), the Nagle Algorithm will not be a problem on any stack where
Nagle is implemented correctly. (pointed out by Rick Jones)
* Authentication: NTLM. Support for that MS crap called NTLM
authentication. MS proxies and servers sometime require that. Since that
protocol is a proprietary one, it involves reverse engineering and network
sniffing. This should however be a library-based functionality. There are a
few different efforts "out there" to make open source HTTP clients support
this and it should be possible to take advantage of other people's hard
work. http://modntlm.sourceforge.net/ is one. There's a web page at
http://www.innovation.ch/java/ntlm.html that contains detailed reverse-
engineered info.
* RFC2617 compliance, "Digest Access Authentication" A valid test page seem
to exist at: http://hopf.math.nwu.edu/testpage/digest/ And some friendly
person's server source code is available at
http://hopf.math.nwu.edu/digestauth/index.html Then there's the Apache
mod_digest source code too of course. It seems as if Netscape doesn't
support this, and not many servers do. Although this is a lot better
authentication method than the more common "Basic". Basic sends the
password in cleartext over the network, this "Digest" method uses a
challange-response protocol which increases security quite a lot.
* Digest, NTLM and GSS-Negotiate support for HTTP proxies. They all work
on direct-connections to the server.
* Pipelining. Sending multiple requests before the previous one(s) are done.
This could possibly be implemented using the multi interface to queue
