ROADMAP: remove old entries
MQTT - the start has already landed

make menuconfig - basically no interest from users, not pushing there

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.

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 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: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dnsop-let-localhost-be-localhost-02
