 LIBCURL

 * Consider an interface to libcurl that allows applications to easier get to

   know what cookies that are sent back in the response headers.

 * Introduce an interface to libcurl that allows applications to easier get to

   know what cookies that are received. Pushing interface that calls a

   callback on each received cookie? Querying interface that asks about

   existing cookies? We probably need both.

 * Make content encoding/decoding internally be made using a filter system.

   less copy of data and thus a faster operation.

   [http://curl.haxx.se/dev/no_copy_callbacks.txt]

 * Run-time querying about library characterics. What protocols do this

   running libcurl support? What is the version number of the running libcurl

   (returning the well-defined version-#define). This could possibly be made

   by allowing curl_easy_getinfo() work with a NULL pointer for global info,

   but perhaps better would be to introduce a new curl_getinfo() (or similar)

   function for global info reading.

 * Add asynchronous name resolving (http://daniel.haxx.se/resolver/). This

   should be made to work on most of the supported platforms, or otherwise it

   isn't really interesting.

   implement, libcurl will merely call 'getmutex' and 'leavemutex' callbacks.

   Part of the sharing suggestion at: http://curl.haxx.se/dev/sharing.txt

 * No-faster-then-this transfers. Many people have limited bandwidth and they

   want the ability to make sure their transfers never use more bandwith than

   they think is good.

 * Set the SO_KEEPALIVE socket option to make libcurl notice and disconnect

   very long time idle connections.

 * CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE. Prevent downloads that are larger than the specified

   size. CURLE_FILESIZE_EXCEEDED would then be returned. Gautam Mani

   requested.

   requested. That is, the download should even begin but be aborted

   immediately.
