| 3 | This is a list over things that we plan to implement in libwww-perl-5.
|
|---|
| 4 | The order of items does not reflect priority.
|
|---|
| 5 |
|
|---|
| 6 | o HTTP/1.1 support is on its way. This also includes support of
|
|---|
| 7 | multiple parallel connections. Take a look at LWPng (aka
|
|---|
| 8 | libwww-perl-6).
|
|---|
| 9 |
|
|---|
| 10 | o Provide initial credentials so that we don't always have to get a
|
|---|
| 11 | 401 response first. Both for Basic and Digest authentication. This
|
|---|
| 12 | is in fact implemented for LWPng.
|
|---|
| 13 |
|
|---|
| 14 | o HTTP::Request::Common::POST() should be able to create large
|
|---|
| 15 | file upload requests by making a closure content.
|
|---|
| 16 |
|
|---|
| 17 | o Support PICS??
|
|---|
| 18 |
|
|---|
| 19 | o Cache previous ftp connections. "Keep-Alive"?
|
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 | o Support MOVE, DELETE method for ftp.
|
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 | o Support If-Modified-Since for ftp.
|
|---|
| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 | o Use Mail::Send to implement LWP::Protocol::mailto. Today we just
|
|---|
| 26 | invoke sendmail directly, which is not very portable.
|
|---|
| 27 |
|
|---|
| 28 | o The lwp-request -o processing should check for Content-Encoding as
|
|---|
| 29 | well as Content-Type.
|
|---|
| 30 |
|
|---|
| 31 | o The lwp-request script should optionally consult Mail::Cap for
|
|---|
| 32 | handling of media types.
|
|---|
| 33 |
|
|---|
| 34 | o The lwp-request script should use the callback interface so that it
|
|---|
| 35 | prints data as it is received.
|
|---|
| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 | o The lwp-mirror script should be able to work recursively.
|
|---|
| 38 |
|
|---|
| 39 | o Include more useful programs
|
|---|
| 40 |
|
|---|
| 41 | o More documentation
|
|---|
| 42 |
|
|---|
| 43 | o More tests
|
|---|
| 44 |
|
|---|
| 45 | o Fix bugs, if there are any...
|
