TODO: added two more libcurl ideas
Moved some ideas from "next major" to just ordinary ideas since we can always add new things while keeping the old without doing a "next major".

1.12 have form functions use CURL handle argument
|
||||
|
||||
curl_formadd() and curl_formget() both currently have no CURL handle
|
||||
argument, but both can use a callback that is set in the easy handle, and
|
||||
thus curl_formget() with callback cannot function without first having
|
||||
curl_easy_perform() (or similar) called - which is hard to grasp and a design
|
||||
mistake.
|
||||
|
||||
The curl_formadd() design can probably also be reconsidered to make it easier
|
||||
to use and less error-prone. Probably easiest by splitting it into several
|
||||
function calls.
|
||||
|
||||
1.13 Add CURLOPT_MAIL_CLIENT option
|
||||
|
||||
Rather than use the URL to specify the mail client string to present in the
|
||||
HELO and EHLO commands, libcurl should support a new CURLOPT specifically for
|
||||
specifying this data as the URL is non-standard and to be honest a bit of a
|
||||
hack ;-)

1.14 Typesafe curl_easy_setopt()
|
||||
|
||||
One of the most common problems in libcurl using applications is the lack of
|
||||
type checks for curl_easy_setopt() which happens because it accepts varargs
|
||||
and thus can take any type.
|
||||
|
||||
One possible solution to this is to introduce a few different versions of the
|
||||
setopt version for the different kinds of data you can set.
|
||||
|
||||
curl_easy_set_num() - sets a long value
|
||||
|
||||
curl_easy_set_large() - sets a curl_off_t value
|
||||
|
||||
curl_easy_set_ptr() - sets a pointer
|
||||
|
||||
curl_easy_set_cb() - sets a callback PLUS its callback data

||||

||||

|
||||
2.2 Fix HTTP Pipelining for PUT
|
||||
|
||||
HTTP Pipelining can be a way to greatly enhance performance for multiple
|
||||
serial requests and currently libcurl only supports that for HEAD and GET
|
||||
requests but it should also be possible for PUT.

2.3 Non-blocking curl_multi_remove_handle()
|
||||
|
||||
The multi interface has a few API calls that assume a blocking behavior, like
|
||||
add_handle() and remove_handle() which limits what we can do internally. The
|
||||
multi API need to be moved even more into a single function that "drives"
|
||||
everything in a non-blocking manner and signals when something is done. A
|
||||
remove or add would then only ask for the action to get started and then
|
||||
multi_perform() etc still be called until the add/remove is completed.
