Requirements for 0.1.0 met (Beta)
Version 0.1.0 should have a feature set to be a complete static content server
- Implement self-adjusting size thread pool
- Add support for Pipelining (In a safe, compliant way)
- Port to Library
- Provide sample application to replace stand-alone server
- Implement XML Generator
- Implement Directory Listing using XML Generator
- Re-implement string handling to suit
- Add preliminary HOOK support Need to revise if this is wise, a VFS might work much more elegantly
Requirements for 0.2.0 met (Stable)
At this stage we plan to do the next round of unstable code changes.
Features that we intend to implement, but have not given it much thought (as it is quite a bit into the future):
- The configuration can be pushed from the app or have its own handlers to read conf files.
- This library provides you with HOOKS, into the server, so you can write your own functions that will override some functionality
- HOOK to override the default directory listing func
- HOOK to call a func with given parameters when a certain resource (file) is called
- HOOK to define fixed-content, and maybe even override disk IO with some VFS (so you can serve static content out of your own bundled resource file or a DB, etc...)
- HOOK to override a whole directory, and that returns the sub-path and parameters to a func
- POST support
- PUT support
- DIGEST authentication support
- Users
- Content-Encoding: gzip
