Greetings,
Here are some things I'd like to see in future versions of Cf3.
1. A tool or command option to confirm an authentication handshake from
the client side. Currently one is forced to run the agent in verbose mode
and search though the output for the H.A.I.L sections. It need not be
verbose enough to give anything away.
2. A way to have the agent output hard classes without parsing any inputs.
3. The parser should be more white space agnostic in certain cases. For
example
ifvarclass = "one|two|three|four" might be easier to read if one could
write
ifvarclass = "
one|
two|
three|
four
"
This is especially true when classes have longer names.
Similarly it would be nice when defining variables if one could depense
with quotes and delimit by whitespace.
"x" slist => {
one
two
three
four
}
Alternatively keep the quotes but do away with the commas.
"x" slist => {
"one"
"two"
"three"
"four"
}
Or an alternative alternative have the parser not baulk at an end of list
comma.
"x" slist => {
"one",
"two",
"three",
"four", # <-- Do not be a syntax error.
}
Sincerely,
