2003-11-2 Brian Masney <[e-mail]> * lib/rfc2068.c (rfc2068_chunked_read) - more improvements to this function so that it will parse more chunked file transfers correctly. * lib/misc.c lib/gftp.h lib/rfc2068.c src/gtk/bookmarks.c src/gtk/dnd.c - removed remove_double_slashes(). Call gftp_build_path() to build the paths. This now allows Novell directory listings with //server * lib/protocols.c src/gtk/transfer.c lib/gftp.h - added variable conn_error_no_timeout to gftp_transfer structure. If this is enabled, if the remote connection to the server timed out, don't wait and immediately reconnect. So far, the only time this is used is when the user was editing a file and it is to be uploaded back to the server. * src/gtk/gftp-gtk.h src/gtk/transfer.c - add_file_transfer() now returns the struct gftp_transfer that was just added. * src/gtk/misc-gtk.c (update_directory_download_progress) - don't make the window a popup and remove the window decorations * src/text/gftp-text.c - don't populate the transfer_direction variable in struct gftp_transfer. This is only needed by the GTK+ port and will hopefully be taken out soon. * lib/gftp.h - remove gftp_transfer_type enum. It wasn't used anymore.

This is a list of some of the things I plan to work on for future releases
of gFTP. If there is something you feel should be included in a future
version of gFTP, please email me about it.

Items to fix for 2.0.16:

* Edit, if there is a timeout on the remote side hwen you go to upload, it waits
  for 30 secs
* ASCII transfers corrupt the file
* FreeBSD SSHV2 upload crash. I can't reproduce this under Linux
* HTTP Support: The following directory listing does not work:
  http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/9/en/os/i386
* When getting the list of files/directories, don't make the window always
  stay on top. It's annoying for large directory listings

Other items for a later version:

* I need to be able to send an event from the core library to the presentation
  layer to have it ask the user a question. I need this for the SSL layer so 
  that if an unknown certificate authority signed the certificate, the user
  can be prompted whether or not to accept it. Also, it would be handy to 
  prompt the user for their password if a bad password was entered. 
* DND - be able to resume transfers
* HTTP - keepalive
* Support tabbed interface in GTK+ port
* Parallel chdir in GTK+ port
* GTK 2.0 port - make 2 buttons in toolbar be the same size as the gnome 2
  icons
* Add option to hide certain files
* Be able to save the state of the transfer queue. Be able to pause transfers.
* For bookmarks, be able to specify a local protocol, host, port, directory
  to connect to
* Show status information in title bar
* -d command line, check if it's a file first, if so download. If not, grab directory
* Add option for @dynamic@ for bookmarks' account
* Playing sounds after certain events or calling external program
* Ratio support
* Recursive directory compares
* Make it be able to download a directory as directory.tar
* Make it execute a program on a url (say rpm -qpi ftp://site.com/file.rpm)
* Full Gnome compatibility.
* Add registered file extensions to options dialog
* VMS directory listings
* Add automatic refresh interval (maybe, this could be used to get around 
  timeouts remote servers may set)
* HTTP: Support CONNECT method in Squid proxy
* Add support for SRP protocol (http://srp.stanford.edu/srp)
* Add support for DAV protocol
* Add support for rsync protocol
* Add support for ftp-ssl. The URL ftp://ftp.runestig.com/pub/ftp-tls has a FTP
  server that supports SSL.
