keys is not possible because changing the key is not possible by the
user.
+ o JOINing to +a (requires passphrase to JOIN) does not work on autojoin.
+ Seems the passwords in the .silc/config has no effect.
+
o Add local commands to list the current server and client public keys
that the user has. And a local command to dump the contents of the
public key to the screen. Something like LISTKEYS, SHOWKEY...
+ o The JOIN command's HELP is generated from Irssi IRCs JOIN help and
+ the syntax is not same in SILC. This must be fixed. Most likely
+ we must forget the Irssi's JOIN command and mimic it to get our
+ required syntax for it too.
+
o We should get rid of the clientconfig.[ch] in Irssi SILC and move the
cipher, hash, hmac and pkcs configuration to the Irssi SILC's config
file.
- o The QUIT command should wait for servers disconnection (at least for
- a while) before exiting the application.
-
o Add PERL scripting support from Irssi CVS.
o Extend the /HELP command to support sub commands or something. So
TODO/bugs In SILC Client Library
================================
- o The public key authentication is missing for example in OPER and SILCOPER
- commands. See the XXX's in the lib/silcclient/command.c.
-
- o The client library must manage somehow when receiving client that has
- same nickname, same server, same username but different Client ID than
- what we have in the cache. It is now assumed that they are different
- client but it might not be. It should at least number the clients
- using the client->num so that they can be accessed from the user
- interface separately or it could just remove the old client unless
- it is on some channels.
+ o JOIN command's argument handling is buggy. See the XXX in the code.
TODO/bugs In SILC Server
========================
- o Add perhaps /var/run/silcd.pid for PID information for the server.
+ o Implement the <founder auth> and founder privileges gaining to
+ the JOIN command. This will bypass invite-only mode as well for
+ the client who got the founder mode during JOIN.
+
+ o After backup resume protocol the TOPIC_SET was not handled correctly
+ by all (unknown Channel ID).
+
+ o Channel user mode changes are notified unnecessarely when switching
+ to backup router on router crash.
+
+ o Change the server to connect to another server from low ports (706)
+ and not from high ports. Currently we cannot do incoming connection
+ checking by remote port because the port is not fixed.
+
+ o Announcements are incomplete: channel topics are not announced,
+ user modes (UMODE) are not announced.
+
+ o If client's public key is saved in the server (and doing public key
+ authentication) then the hostname and the username information could
+ be taken from the public key. Should be a configuration option!
+
+ o Add a timeout to handling incoming JOIN commands. It should be
+ enforced that JOIN command is executed only once in a second or two
+ seconds. Now it is possible to accept n incoming JOIN commands
+ and process them without any timeouts. THis must be employed because
+ each JOIN command will create and distribute the new channel key
+ to everybody on the channel.
+
+ o Optimize the WHOIS and IDENTIFY commands to somehow check whether the
+ requested clients are on some channel that the server knows about. If
+ this is the case then the request is not needed to be forwarded to the
+ router. One specific optimization could be done with JOIN command.
+ If the previous command to the WHOIS and IDENTIFY commands are JOIN
+ command (from the client) it can be expected (though it must be
+ verified) that the client is resolving the users on the channel it just
+ joined. If server has done this once there is really no reason to
+ resolve it twice (from the router), it can reply directly back with
+ the information it knows. This is because the server would (will)
+ receive notifications from the router for users that are on a local
+ channel.
+
+ The same is with whowas command. Actually with all these commands
+ it should be checked also whether the requested information is local.
+ If it is, there is no reason to send it to the router, since the server
+ knows it best.
o Incomplete IPv6 support:
o silcd/serverid.c and its routines supports only IPv4.
- o The backup router support described in the protocol specification
- should be done at some point.
-
o New configuration file format must be added. The new one will be
done using the dotconf config library (lib/dotconf). The following
tasks relates closely to this as well and must be done at the same time
o IP address fields in configuration file should accept mask
format as well, IP/MASK, and not just plain IP.
- o Connection classes should be actually implemented in
+ o Connection classes should be actually implemented in
serverconfig.c. They can be defined but they are totally
ignored currently. And they should be redefined also.
TODO/bugs In SILC Libraries
===========================
- o Some ./prepare problems with latest autoconf and automake.
-
- o Compression routines are missing. The protocol supports packet
- compression thus it must be implemented. SILC Comp API must be
- defined. zlib package is already included into the lib dir (in CVS,
- not in distribution), but it is not used yet, and it requires some
- tweaking on the Makefiles (we want static lib not shared).
-
- o All payload parsing (decoding) functions should take unsigned char *
- and uint32 as data and data length as arguments. Now some of the
- routines do already that but most of the routines use SilcBuffer.
- The SilcBuffer ones should be removed since buf->data and buf->len
- is more convenient to use. However, the silc_buffer_[un]format
- routines support only SilcBuffer so they would require reallocation
- of SilcBuffer. Maybe support for raw data (and not just SilcBuffer)
- should be added silc_buffer_[un]format_? routines. These are currently
- only cosmetic changes but at some point must be done to make the
- payload interfaces consistent.
-
o Incomplete IPv6 support:
o All network routines in lib/silcutil/silcnet.[ch] does not
o silc_id_render supports only IPv4 based ID's in the file
lib/silcutil/silcutil.c.
- o Add builtin SOCKS and HTTP Proxy support, well the SOCKS at least.
- SILC currently supports SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 but it needs to be compiled
- in separately.
+ o Add silc_net_gethostbyname, silc_net_gethostbyaddr,
+ silc_net_gethostbyname_async and silc_net_gethostbyaddr_async functions.
TODO/Bugs in native WIN32 support (libraries)
=============================================
o silc_net_create_connection_async does not work the same way than on
- Unix. Do it with threads on WIN32.
-
-
-TODO In SILC Protocol
-=====================
-
- o If channel founder mode is set and the invite mode is set on channel
- then the founder should be added to the list automatically so that
- if the founder signoff's it will be able join again to the invite only
- channel wihtout being invited.
+ Unix. Do it with threads on WIN32. The function works but is not
+ actually async currently.
TODO After 1.0
==============
+ o Compression routines are missing. The protocol supports packet
+ compression thus it must be implemented. SILC Zip API must be
+ defined. zlib package is already included into the lib dir (in CVS,
+ not in distribution), but it is not used yet, and it requires some
+ tweaking on the Makefiles (we want static lib not shared).
+
+ o Add builtin SOCKS and HTTP Proxy support, well the SOCKS at least.
+ SILC currently supports SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 but it needs to be compiled
+ in separately.
+
o X.509 certificate support. SILC protocol supports certificates and
it would be great to have support for them. This is a big task as
support has to be made for ASN.1 as well. I've looked into OpenSSL
nice as SSH is widely used all over the place. SILC Protocol
supports SSH2 public keys.
+ o OpenPGP certificate support.
+
o Cipher optimizations (asm, that this) at least for i386 would be nice.
