curl the next few years - perhaps
=================================
Roadmap of things Daniel Stenberg wants to work on next. It is intended to
serve as a guideline for others for information, feedback and possible
participation.
HSTS
----
Complete and merge [the existing PR](https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/2682).
Loading a huge preload file is probably not too interesting to most people,
but using a custom file and reacting to HSTS response header probably are
good features.
DNS-over-TLS
------------
Similar to DNS-over-HTTPS. Could share quite a lot of generic code.
ESNI (Encrypted SNI)
--------------------
See Daniel's post on [Support of Encrypted
SNI](https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2019-03/0000.html) on the mailing list.
Initial work exists in https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/4011
thread-safe `curl_global_init()`
--------------------------------
Fix the libcurl specific parts of the function to be thread-safe. Make sure
it can be thread-safe if built with thread-safe 3rd party libraries.
(probably can't include `curl_global_init_mem()` for obvious reasons)
Hardcode “localhost”
--------------------
No need to resolve it. Avoid a risk where this is resolved over the network
and actually responds with something else than a local address. Some
operating systems already do this. Also:
