h1. small todo list
Note: this list is updated every now and then and doesn't necessarily represent the exact state of development. Use it as a rough overview.
* core
** out-of-fd handling should be (only) in the main worker
** ipv6 support (for radix-tree, used for mod_access)
** throttling by ip
** X-Sendfile/X-LIGHTTPD-Send-tmpfile support, maybe new stuff like X-Throttle
** limit request/response header size, request url length
** listen to unix sockets
** config parser cleanup
* angel
** zero downtime restarts
** log rotation (or use the zero downtime restart?)
** control socket interface
** angel-control util
* log
** scheme:// prefix
** support for pipes
** open log files with angel
** print "startup" (== if logging is disabled) log messages to stderr/angel if the log level target isn't /dev/null
* plugin api
** inter-plugin api
** plugin data per client ip address
*** can be used for bandwidth throttling, limit requests per second, limit concurrent requests etc
*** has to be shared among all workers so locking needed?
*** maybe let main worker do the lookup/removal in a radix tree so no locking needed for that and let plugin make sure it's threadsafe when modifying
* modules
** port remaining modules from 1.x
*** mod_uploadprogress
*** mod_scgi
*** mod_proxy
*** mod_ajp13 ?
** sql vhost (lua handler go generate actions from db rows?)
** add even more innovative modules :)
* mod_status
** show timeout in duration column like "5/120" ?
** ?format=auto for parsable status polling
* mod_dirlist
** generate stat dirlist/html body async (to allow etag-cache-hit)
** javascript for sorting (from mod_status)
* mod_openssl
** sni support
* mod_deflate
** add some options: buffer size, minimum-file-size, compression parameters, select allowed methods
* mod_fastcgi
** x-sendfile support
* stat-cache:
** revalidate dirlist entries with stat() after cache hit ?
** purge invalid entries (stat()/open() failed), i.e. remove from hash tables
** check for normal stat entry, stat() and S_ISDIR before queuing dirlist job
** reset ttl after revalidating entries
** limit for hash tables?
** check symlink/symlink-if-owner-match
* test framework
* build systems
** use shared libraries for common libs
** lighty common libs should probably installed in a default lib directory (/usr/lib), plugins in a subdir
** provide pkg-config for 3rd party module builds
** at least one build system should provide static builds
