Marshall and I have been conversing off-list and I have copies of his work in my inbox. I haven't gotten the time to really integrate it into cpp-netlib but he does have a github account now. I'm not sure if he's on the list yet (I can check) but he has expressed interest in merging his implementation into cpp-netlib for eventual submission to Boost. We'll be working together to merge his library into cpp-netlib and maybe do a joint presentation on BoostCon 2010. I see that he's done cool stuff with his MIME encoder/decoder and I do look forward to seeing his implementation in cpp-netlib sooner than later. Marshall, if you're on the list this is your cue. :D >> >> * Form encoding/decoding (for HTTP clients/servers to handle HTML >> form encoded data) > > Yes, something in namespace `boost::network::http::forms` ? > That's still up for grabs. If you'd like to take a crack at it please be my guest. :D I'm thinking initially it would be cool to have it in `boost::network::http::utils` and glob together the different utility functions/types there. I'm also thinking of a higher level utils namespace like `boost::network::utils::html::forms`. Maybe one day we'll also have an HTML/XML DSEL that compiles to wicked fast rendering code for those serious with using cpp-netlib's embeddable HTTP server as an application server. Now *that* I think personally would be cool, but I'm afraid is a little out of the scope of cpp-netlib. :D >> >> * Query string encoding/decoding (for GET queries) > > This has been proposed before, but I don't think it's ever been > implemented. > Yeah, I think Jeroen has a more concrete idea on how to do it. :) >> * Base64 stream/string encoding/decoding (for Binary data) > > Boost.Serialization already defines base64 encoding/decoding functions, and > I would guess that the MIME implementation you mentioned above would too. Yeah, I tought about that a little more and I think just base64 encoding would be too low-level. The MIME implementation and Boost.Serialization would be good places to see it. We can safely remove that from the list. :) >> >> * URI pattern-based dispatch (ala Rails, or Django/Tornado) > > Cool. > Cool indeed. :) > > Can you add them to the issue tracker, and maybe also to the wiki?

Wiki it is, I shall do a "brain dump" on the cpp-netlib.github.com wiki then. :D Thanks for the response Glyn! -- Dean Michael Berris cplusplus-soup.com | twitter.com/deanberris linkedin.com/in/mikhailberis | facebook.com/dean.berris | deanberris.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.
