The following is a list of items that are currently missing or partially implemented
|
|
|
|
|
in kio_http:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- HTTP/1.1 Persistant Connections:
|
|
|
|
|
The header often specifies the timeout value used for connections.
|
|
|
|
|
Close the connection ourselves when the timeout has expired. That way
|
|
|
|
|
we don't loose time sending stuff to an already closed connection.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- HTTP/1.1 Pipelining support
|
|
|
|
|
This more of an optimization of the http io-slave that is intended to make it
|
|
|
|
|
faster while using as few resources as possible. Work on this is currently
|
|
|
|
|
being done to add this support for KDE 3.x version.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- WebDAV support:
|
|
|
|
|
The majority of the work for this is done, see README.webdav. GUI integration
|
|
|
|
|
into konqueror as a konqueror part would be nice, to add GUI support for
|
|
|
|
|
features such as locking.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Rating(s) support. http://www.w3.org/PICS:
|
|
|
|
|
This might involve an external program to parse the labels, and something to
|
|
|
|
|
configure access accordingly. There is only some basic things that need to be
|
|
|
|
|
added to kio_http to support this. The majority of the work has to be done at the
|
|
|
|
|
application level. A khtml plugin in tdeaddons to do this might be a nice idea.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- P3P support:
|
|
|
|
|
This can also be implemented as a plugin to konqueror and does
|
|
|
|
|
not need any speical support in HTTP except perhaps sending a
|
|
|
|
|
flag that indicates that the web page provides some P3P information.
|
|
|
|
|
This is something that can be added as a plugin to tdeaddons.
|
|

Things that do not require programming
|
|
|
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- "Friendly" error message html page.
|
|
|
|
|
We currently support the sending of error messages, but this is only done if the server
|
|
|
|
|
sends back nicely formatted error messages. We do not have fall back HTML pages that
|
|
|
|
|
describe these error messages in a non-technical manner! This of course also means that
|
|
|
|
|
we will certainly need to have these files translated.
