So here is a summary of all the feature requests I have seen until now, as well as some comments on my part:
* protocol selection (SSL v2/v3/TLS)/Martin Meredith good idea - accepted for 2.7 * thread load instrumentation/Leo accepted for 2.7 * dynamically growing number of threads/Leo I don't really see what do you gain by it. Care to clarify? * detect -Wno-unused-result support/Joe Gooch already done - will be in 2.7a (slipped out of 2.6 by mistake) * dynamic back-end address (DNS) or change via poundctl/Rob Moore we'll need to look at how complex the implementation is for regular back-ends probably OK, for SSL may be a little tricky probably OK for 2.7 * SSL Ciphers (BEAST)/Joe Gooch accepted for 2.7 * Client Renegotiation/Joe Gooch accepted for 2.7 * SSLv2 should be disabled by default/Joe Gooch superseded by protocol selection * CSRF issue w/ invalid tags/et al in redirects/Joe Gooch accepted for 2.7 * config reload/Erik Hensema not as easy as it looks - suggestions are welcome * session cookies by Pound/Francisco Ruiz needs more discussion. It would break the proxy transparency * enhanced alive test: 200/503 reply rather than connect/Francisco Ruiz needs more discussion. Can be easily supported now via external scripts, so it's not clear we need it * include file, include dir/Joe Gooch include file is already supported include dir is dangerous, as the file inclusion order is unpredictable - rejected * ForceHTTP10/ssl unclean shutdown functionality based on user agent/Joe Gooch needs more analysis, but looks OK * Socket ownership and permissions/Joe Gooch accepted for 2.7 * PCRE-based dynamic redirects/Joe Gooch needs more analysis * NoSSL redirect/Joe Gooch I think it is (mostly ?) supported by existing redirect mechanism * back-end clusters/Todd Freeman can be done via multiple includes of same file - rejected Please feel free to comment on the above, or any other features I missed. -- Robert Segall Apsis GmbH Postfach, Uetikon am See, CH-8707 Tel: +41-32-512 30 19 -- To unsubscribe send an email with subject unsubscribe to [email protected].
