Short term priorities

Short term priorities

Immediate hygiene

• move hellepoll into a namespace
• pick a naming convention and stick to it
• move FD to be a struct instead of an int typedef, so its opaque and future-proof
• decide how users will include it; should it be as a lib? As a git submodule? This should be reflected in folder depth and Makefile
• add_callback, add_timeout

Immediate features

• HTTP handler abstraction with factory dispatching on path (re2/set.h)
• HTTP support for pipelining, gzipping, etagging, etc
• HTTP static file handler, ideally using proper asynchronous file IO with eventfd()
• HTTP secure cookies utility code and shared session cache
• HTTP client with connection pooling and pipelining
• HTTP proxy example (great way to ensure correctness and stress test framework; fun example: rotate all images and pipe through a find/replace l33t-speak filter)
• Websockets (with JSON parser)
• HTML form support
• Stress and fix performance of queuing of timeouts (bucket link lists and fast sorting of nearest bucket?)

Next features

• DB examples (queue, reorder and coalesce example/utility code?)
• memcached (and buffcacher?) examples/code
• Multiple threads, all listening on same sockets
• Open-sourcing of RTMP and FLV stream handlers?

Even further off features

• HTTPS support
• SPDY support!
