-TODO for 1.2 And Beyond
-=======================
+SILC Runtime Toolkit 1.2 and beyond
+===================================
NOTE: Any item that doesn't have (***DONE) in it, isn't done yet. The
(***TESTING NEEDED) means that the item has been done but not yet properly
to silc-devel mailing list or appear on 'silc' channel on SILCNet.
-General
-=======
-
- o Create apps/tutorial containing various Toolkit API tutorials.
-
- o The Toolkit split. The Toolkit is to be splitted in parts. How many
- parts and what the parts are isn't decided yet. Each part is a separate
- software package. Current thinking is of the following:
-
- SILC Toolkit SILC protocol, client and server library
- SILC Runtime Toolkit runtime library
- SILC Crypto Toolkit crypto, asn1, math, skr, pgp, etc.
-
- The rationale for this is of course that other than SILC projects
- might like to use the various libraries SILC Toolkit provides, but
- naturally they don't want the bloat of SILC protocol related stuff.
-
- The Runtime library in SILC Toolkit is a general purpose runtime library,
- like Glib and APR are. The runtime library is to be developed further
- to provide alternative to Glib and APR.
-
- The Crypto library in SILC Toolkit is a general purpose crypto library
- providing pretty nice APIs compared to many other crypto libraries,
- especially OpenSSL. The Crypto library is to be developed further
- to include support for OpenPGP, X.509 and SSH2.
-
+Runtime library, lib/silcutil/
+==============================
-lib/silccore
-============
+ o Add SILC Zip API, compression.
- o SILC_PACKET_FLAG_ACK support. Implement ACK packet and packet payload
- to silcpacket.c.
+ o file removing, chmod, rmmod, etc. chdir, rmdir, stat, etc. to
+ lib/silcutil/silcfileutil.h.
- o All payload encoding routines should take SilcStack as argument.
+ o mmap API
- o Remove SilcCommandCb from silccommand.h.
+ o Multicast support.
- o All payload test routines into lib/silccore/tests/.
+ o Implement silc_get_num_cpu.
+ o silc_file_readfile and silc_file_writefile should perhaps do the thing
+ with mmap, as it's probably a bit faster.
-lib/silcclient, The Client Library
-==================================
+ o silc_malloc et. al. to respect --with-alignment.
- o Giving WHOIS for nick that doesn't exist should remove any same
- named entries from the client cache.
+ o Fix universal time decoding (doesn't accept all formats) in silctime.c.
- o peer-to-peer private messages
+ o Additional scheduler changes: optimize silc_schedule_wakeup. Wakeup
+ only if the scheduler is actually waiting something. If it is
+ delivering tasks wakeup is not needed.
- o Private message key request notification to application. See XXX in
- client_prvmsg.c.
+ o silc_stringprep to non-allocating version.
- o in JOIN notify handle resolving that timedout. Currently the user is
- never joined the channel if this happens. What to do if message is
- received from user that hasn't been resolved/joined?
+ 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 Message ACKing support.
+ o Add silc_xml_parse_stream to parse SilcStream XML stream.
- o in /cmode and /cumode with +r, maybe the public key and private key
- could be just some "string", which would then match to "string.pub" and
- "string.prv".
+ o SILC XML API (wrapper to expat). (***DONE)
- o If the SILC Events (see below) are implemented, perhaps client library
- should provide events so that application developer has a choice of
- developing the SILC app with callbacks or with events.
+ o Bring silchttp HTTP server library to SRT. (***DONE)
+ o Simple SILC Rand API for pseudo-random numbers. (***DONE)
-Runtime library, lib/silcutil/
-==============================
+ o Add directory opening/traversing functions (***DONE, TODO Windows & Symbian)
- o Fix universal time decoding (doesn't accept all formats) in silctime.c.
+ o regex from /lib/contrib to lib/silcutil, define SILC Regex API. (***DONE)
o Add functions to manipulate environment variables. (***DONE)
SIM library (lib/silcsim) and introduces generic library). Add this
to lib/silcutil/silcdll.[ch]. (***TESTING NEEDED WIN32, TODO Symbian)
- o Add directory opening/traversing functions
-
- o silc_getopt routines
+ o silc_getopt routines (***DONE)
o The SILC Event signals. Asynchronous events that can be created,
connected to and signalled. Either own event routines or glued into
- SilcSchedule:
-
- SilcTask silc_schedule_task_add_event(SilcSchedule schedule,
- const char *event, ...);
- SilcBool silc_schedule_event_connect(SilcSchedule schedule,
- const char *event,
- SilcTaskCallback event_callback,
- void *context);
- SilcBool silc_schedule_event_signal(SilcSchedule schedule,
- const char *event, ...);
-
- Example:
- silc_schedule_task_add_event(schedule, "connected",
- SILC_PARAM_UI32_INT,
- SILC_PARAM_BUFFER,
- SILC_PARAM_END);
- silc_schedule_event_connect(schedule, "connected", connected_cb, ctx);
- silc_schedule_event_signal(schedule, "connected", integer, buf,
- SILC_PARAM_END);
- SILC_TASK_CALLBACK(connected_cb)
- {
- FooCtx ctx = context;
- va_list args;
- SilcUInt32 integer;
- SilcBuffer buf;
-
- va_start(args, context);
- integer = va_arg(args, SilcUInt32);
- buf = va_arg(args, SilcBuffer);
- va_end(args);
- ...
- }
-
- Problems: Events would be SilcSchedule specific, and would not work on
- multi-thread/multi-scheduler system. The events should be copyable
- between schedulers. Another problem is the signal delivery. Do we
- deliver them synchronously possibly from any thread to any other thread
- or do we deliver them through the target schedulers. If we use the
- schedulers then signalling would be asynchronous (data must be
- duplicated and later freed) which is not very nice.
+ SilcSchedule. (***DONE)
o If the event signals are added, the SILC_PARAM_* stuff needs to be
- moved from silcbuffmt.h to silctypes.h or something similar.
+ moved from silcbuffmt.h to silctypes.h or something similar. (***DONE)
o In case the SILC Events are done we shall create a new concept of
parent and child SilcSchedule's. When new SilcSchedule is created a
This relationship would be associative only. The schedulers are still
independent and run independently from each other. All schedulers
would be linked and could be accessed from any of the schedulers.
- It should be possible to retrieve the parent and enumate all children
+ It should be possible to retrieve the parent and enumerate all children
from any of the schedulers.
+ (***DONE)
- SilcSchedule silc_schedule_init(int max_tasks, void *app_context,
- SilcSchedule parent);
- SilcSchedule silc_schedule_get_parent(SilcSchedule schedule);
-
- o Additional scheduler changes: optimize silc_schedule_wakeup. Wakeup
- only if the scheduler is actually waiting something. If it is
- delivering tasks wakeup is not needed.
-
- o Structured log messages to Log API. Allows machine readable log
- messages. Would allow sending of any kind of data in a log message.
+ o Base64 to an own API (***DONE)
- o Base64 to an own API
-
- o Timer API
-
- 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 silc_stringprep to non-allocating version.
+ o Timer API (***DONE)
o silc_hash_table_replace -> silc_hash_table_set. Retain support for
silc_hash_table_replace as macro. (***DONE)
o Thread pool API. Add this to lib/silcutil/silcthread.[ch]. (***DONE)
- o Fast mutex implementation. Fast rwlock implementation. Mutex and
- rwlock implementation using atomic operations.
-
- o Compression routines are missing. The protocol supports packet
- compression thus it must be implemented. SILC Zip API must be
- defined.
-
o Add new functions to SilcStack API in lib/silcutil/silcstack.[ch]. Add
silc_stack_[set|get]_alignment. It defines the default alignment used
when allocating memory from stack. It can be used to specify special
_ua unaligned memory allocation routines. Remove unaligned memory
allocation possibility. (***DONE)
- o Add '%@' format to silc_snprintf functions. It marks for external
- rendering function of following type:
+ o silc_stack_alloc shouldn't require multiple by 8 size argument, it
+ should figure it out itself. (***DONE)
+
+ o Add '%@' format to silc_snprintf functions.
+ (***DONE)
+
+ o SILC Tls (Thread-local storage) API to lib/silcutil/silcthread.[ch].
+ (***DONE)
- /* Snprintf rendering function. The `data' is rendered into a string
- and allocated string is returned. If NULL is returned the
- rendering is skipped and ignored. If the returned string does
- not fit to the destination buffer it may be truncated. */
- typedef char *(*SilcSnprintfRender)(void *data);
+ o Change silc_gettimeofday on Unix to use clock_gettime with REALTIME
+ clock if it is available, otherwise use gettimeofday(). (***DONE)
- It can work like following:
+ o Generic SilcResult that includes all possible status and
+ error conditions and generic errno API. (***DONE)
- char *id_renderer(void *data)
- {
- char tmp[32];
- id_to_str(tmp, sizeof(tmp), (SilcID *)data);
- return strdup(tmp);
- }
+ (o Structured log messages to Log API. Allows machine readable log
+ messages. Would allow sending of any kind of data in a log message.) maybe
- silc_snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "Client ID %@", id_renderer, client_id);
+ (o Change some stream routines (like socket stream API) to accept ANY
+ stream and use silc_stream_get_root to get the socket stream from the
+ given stream. This will make various stream APIs more easier to use
+ when user doesn't have to dig up the correct stream.
- (o Generic SilcStatus or SilcResult that includes all possible status and
- error conditions, including those of SILC protocol. Though, the SILC
- protocol related status (currently in silcstatus.h) cannot be in
- runtime library) maybe
+ Add silc_stream_get_root and add get_root stream operation. It
+ returns the root of the stream or NULL if stream doesn't have root.) maybe
+
+ (o SilcIpAddr abstraction. Ipv4 and Ipv6 support to the abstaction.)
+ maybe
(o SILC specific socket creation/closing routines to silcnet.h, wrappers
to all send(), recv(), sendto() etc. Bad thing is that we'd have to
define all socket options, sockaddrs, etc.) maybe
- (o mmap) maybe
+ (o Fast mutex implementation. Fast rwlock implementation. Mutex and
+ rwlock implementation using atomic operations.) not for now.
+
+Windows Support
+===============
-lib/silcutil/symbian/
-=====================
+
+Symbian OS Support
+==================
o Something needs to be thought to the logging globals as well,
like silc_debug etc. They won't work on EPOC. Perhaps logging
and debugging is to be disabled on EPOC. The logging currently works
- by it cannot be controlled, same with debugging.
-
-
-SFTP Library, lib/silcsftp/
-===========================
-
- o Read prefetch (read-ahead, reading ahead of time). Maybe if this can
- be done easily.
-
-
-SKR Library, lib/silcskr/
-=========================
-
- o Add fingerprint as search constraint.
-
- o Add OpenPGP support. Adding, removing, fetching PGP keys. (Keyring
- support?)
-
- o Add support for importing public keys from a directory and/or from a
- file. Add support for exporting the repository (different formats for
- different key types?).
-
- o Change the entire silc_skr_find API. Remove SilcSKRFind and just simply
- add the find constraints as variable argument list to silc_skr_find, eg:
-
- silc_skr_find(skr, schedule, callback, context,
- SILC_SKR_FIND_PUBLIC_KEY, public_key,
- SILC_SKR_FIND_COUNTRY, "FI",
- SILC_SKR_FIND_USAGE, SILC_SKR_USAGE_AUTH,
- SILC_SKR_FIND_END);
-
- NULL argument would be ignored and skipped.
-
- o Add OR logical rule in addition of the current default AND, eg:
-
- // Found key(s) MUST have this public key AND this country.
- silc_skr_find(skr, schedule, callback, context,
- SILC_SKR_FIND_RULE_AND,
- SILC_SKR_FIND_PUBLIC_KEY, public_key,
- SILC_SKR_FIND_COUNTRY, "FI",
- SILC_SKR_FIND_END);
-
- // Found key(s) MUST have this public key OR this key context
- silc_skr_find(skr, schedule, callback, context,
- SILC_SKR_FIND_RULE_OR,
- SILC_SKR_FIND_PUBLIC_KEY, public_key,
- SILC_SKR_FIND_CONTEXT, key_context,
- SILC_SKR_FIND_END);
-
- o SilcStack to SKR API.
-
-
-Crypto Library, lib/silccrypt/
-==============================
-
- o Add silc_crypto_init and silc_crypto_uninit. The _init should take
- SilcStack that will act as global memory pool for all of crypto
- library. It should not be necessary anymore to separately register
- default ciphers, HMACs, etc, the _init would do that. However, if
- user after _init calls silc_pkcs_register, for example, it would take
- preference over the default once, ie. user can always dictate the
- order of algorithms.
-
- The global SilcStack should be used by all routines in lib/silccrypt,
- lib/silcacc (and lib/silcmath). lib/silcskr and lib/silcasn1 has support
- in the API for providing SilcStack, however, if not provided, they
- should look for global SilcStack, if SILC_DIST_CRYPTO is defined.
- Same SILC_DIST_CRYPTO ifdef for other libs.
-
- o Add fingerprint to SilcSILCPublicKey and retrieval to silcpk.h, and
- possibly to silcpkcs.h.
-
- /* Return fingerprint of the `public_key'. Returns also the algorithm
- that has been used to make the fingerprint. */
- const unsigned char *
- silc_pkcs_get_fingerprint(SilcPublicKey public_key,
- const char **hash_algorithm,
- SilcUInt32 *fingerprint_len);
-
- o Change SILC PKCS API to asynchronous, so that accelerators can be used.
- All PKCS routines should now take callbacks as argument and they should
- be delivered to SilcPKCSObject and SilcPKCSAlgorithm too.
-
- /* Signature computation callback */
- typedef void (*SilcPKCSSignCb)(SilcBool success,
- const unsigned char *signature,
- SilcUInt32 signature_len,
- void *context);
-
- /* Signature verification callback */
- typedef void (*SilcPKCSVerifyCb)(SilcBool success, void *context);
-
- /* Encryption callback */
- typedef void (*SilcPKCSEncryptCb)(SilcBool success,
- const unsigned char *encrypted,
- SilcUInt32 encrypted_len,
- void *context);
-
- /* Decryption callback */
- typedef void (*SilcPKCSDecryptCb)(SilcBool success,
- const unsigned char *decrypted,
- SilcUInt32 decrypted_len,
- void *context);
-
- Either add new _async functions or add the callbacks to existing API
- and if the callback is NULL then the API is not async and if provided
- it may be async. For example;
-
- SilcBool silc_pkcs_sign(SilcPrivateKey private_key,
- unsigned char *src, SilcUInt32 src_len,
- unsigned char *dst, SilcUInt32 dst_size,
- SilcUInt32 *dst_len,
- SilcBool compute_hash, SilcHash hash,
- SilcPKCSSignCb async_sign,
- void *async_sign_context);
-
- (if this is done then there's no reason why the buffers in the
- callbacks cannot be the ones user gives here) or allow only async:
-
- SilcBool silc_pkcs_sign(SilcPrivateKey private_key,
- unsigned char *src, SilcUInt32 src_len,
- SilcBool compute_hash, SilcHash hash,
- SilcPKCSSignCb async_sign,
- void *async_sign_context);
-
- or add new:
-
- SilcBool silc_pkcs_sign_async(SilcPrivateKey private_key,
- unsigned char *src, SilcUInt32 src_len,
- SilcBool compute_hash, SilcHash hash,
- SilcPKCSSignCb async_sign,
- void *async_sign_context);
-
- o Change PKCS Algorithm API to take SilcPKCSAlgorithm as argument to
- encrypt, decrypt, sign and verify functions. We may need to for exmaple
- check the alg->hash, supported hash functions. Maybe deliver it also
- to all other functions in SilcPKCSAlgorithm to be consistent.
-
- o Add DSS support. Take implementation from Tom or make it yourself.
-
- o Implement the defined SilcDH API. The definition is in
- lib/silccrypt/silcdh.h. Make sure it is asynchronous so that it can
- be accelerated. Also take into account that it could use elliptic
- curves.
-
- o ECDSA and ECDH
-
- o All cipher, hash, hmac etc. allocation routines should take their name
- in as const char * not const unsigned char *.
-
-
-SILC Accelerator Library
-========================
-
- o SILC Accelerator API. Provides generic way to use different kind of
- accelerators. Basically implements SILC PKCS API so that SilcPublicKey
- and SilcPrivateKey can be used but they call the accelerators.
-
- Something in the lines of (preliminary):
-
- /* Register accelerator to system. Initializes the accelerator. */
- Varargs are optional accelerator specific init parameteres. */
- SilcBool silc_acc_register(SilcAccelerator acc, ...);
-
- silc_acc_register(softacc, "min_threads", 2, "max_threads", 16, NULL);
-
- /* Unregister accelerator. Uninitializes the accelerator. */
- SilcBool silc_acc_unregister(const SilcAccelerator acc);
-
- /* Return list of the registered accelerators */
- SilcDList silc_acc_get_supported(void);
-
- /* Find existing accelerator. `name' is accelerator's name. */
- SilcAccelerator silc_acc_find(const char *name);
-
- /* Return accelerator's name */
- const char *silc_acc_get_name(SilcAccelerator acc);
-
- /* Accelerate `public_key'. Return accelerated public key. */
- SilcPublicKey silc_acc_public_key(SilcAccelerator acc,
- SilcPublicKey public_key);
-
- /* Accelerate `private_key'. Returns accelerated private key. */
- SilcPrivateKey silc_acc_private_key(SilcAccelerator acc,
- SilcPrivateKey private_key);
-
- /* Return the underlaying public key */
- SilcPublicKey silc_acc_get_public_key(SilcAccelerator acc,
- SilcPublicKey public_key);
-
- /* Return the underlaying private key */
- SilcPrivateKey silc_acc_get_private_key(SilcAccelerator acc,
- SilcPrivateKey private_key);
-
- typedef struct SilcAcceleratorObject {
- const char *name; /* Accelerator's name */
- SilcBool (*init)(va_list va); /* Initialize accelerator */
- SilcBool (*uninit)(void); /* Uninitialize accelerator */
- const SilcPKCSAlgorithm *pkcs; /* Accelerated PKCS algorithms */
- const SilcDHObject *dh; /* Accelerated Diffie-Hellmans */
- const SilcCipherObject *cipher; /* Accelerated ciphers */
- const SilcHashObject *hash; /* Accelerated hashes */
- const SilcHmacObject *hmac; /* Accelerated HMACs */
- const SilcRngObject *rng; /* Accelerated RNG's */
- } *SilcAccelerator, SilcAcceleratorStruct;
-
- Allows accelerator to have multiple accelerators (cipher, hash etc)
- and multiple different algorithms and implementations (SHA-1, SHA-256 etc).
-
- SilcPublicKey->SilcSILCPublicKey->RsaPublicKey accelerated as:
- SilcPublicKey->SilcAcceleratorPublicKey->SilcSoftAccPublicKey->
- SilcPublicKey->SilcSILCPublicKey->RsaPublicKey
-
- silc_acc_public_key creates SilcPublicKey and SilcAcceleratorPublicKey
- and acc->pkcs->import_public_key creates SilcSoftAccPublicKey.
-
- o Implement software accelerator. It is a thread pool system where the
- public key and private key operations are executed in threads.
-
- const struct SilcAcceleratorObject softacc =
- {
- "softacc", softacc_init, softacc_uninit,
- softacc_pkcs, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL
- }
-
- /* Called from silc_acc_private_key */
- int silc_softacc_import_private_key(void *key, SilcUInt32 key_len,
- void **ret_private_key)
- {
- SilcSoftAccPrivateKey prv = silc_calloc(1, sizeof(*prv));
- prv->pkcs = acc->pkcs;
- prv->private_key = key;
- *ret_private_key = prv;
- }
-
- (o Symmetric key cryptosystem acceleration? They are always sycnhronouos
- even with hardware acceleration so the crypto API shouldn't require
- changes.) maybe
-
-
-lib/silcmath
-============
-
- o Import TFM. Talk to Tom to add the missing functions. Use TFM in
- client and client library, but TMA in server, due to the significantly
- increased memory consumption with TFM, and the rare need for public
- key operations in server.
-
- We want TFM's speed but not TFM's memory requirements. Talk to Tom
- about making the TFM mp dynamic just as it is in LTM.
-
- o The SILC MP API function must start returning indication of success
- and failure of the operation.
-
- o Do SilcStack support for silc_mp_init, silc_mp_init_size and other
- any other MP function (including utility ones) that may allocate
- memory.
-
- o All utility functions should be made non-allocating ones.
-
-
-SILC XML Library, lib/silcxml/
-==============================
-
- o SILC XML API (wrapper to expat). Look at the expat API and simplify
- it. The SILC XML API should have at most 8-10 API functions. It should
- be possible to create full XML parser with only one function. And, it
- should be possible to have a function that is able to parse an entire
- XML document. It should also have a parser function to be able to
- parse a stream of XML data (SilcStream). It MUST NOT have operations
- that require multiple function calls to be able to execute that one
- operation (like creating parser).
-
-
-lib/silcske/silcske.[ch]
-========================
-
- o Ratelimit to UDP/IP transport for incoming packets.
-
-
-lib/silcasn1
-============
-
- o Negative integer encoding is missing, add it.
-
- o SILC_ASN1_CHOICE should perhaps return an index what choice in the
- choice list was found. Currently it is left for caller to figure out
- which choice was found.
-
- o SILC_ASN1_NULL in decoding should return SilcBool whether or not
- the NULL was present. It's important when it's SILC_ASN1_OPTIONAL
- and we need to know whether it was present or not.
-
-
-lib/silcpgp
-===========
-
- o OpenPGP certificate support, allowing the use of PGP public keys
- in SILC.
-
-
-lib/silcssh
-===========
-
- o SSH2 public key/private key support, allowing the use of SSH2 keys
- in SILC. RFC 4716.
-
-
-lib/silcpkix
-============
-
- o PKIX implementation
-
-
-apps/silcd
-==========
-
- o Deprecate the old server. Write interface for the new lib/silcserver
- server library. The interface should work on Unix/Linux systems.
-
- o Consider deprecating also the old config file format and use XML
- istead. This should require SILC XML API implementation first.
-
- o The configuration must support dynamic router and server connections.
- The silcd must work without specifying any servers or routers to
- connect to.
-
- o The configuration must support specifying whether the server is
- SILC Server or SILC Router. This should not be deduced from the
- configuration as it was in < 1.2.
-
- o The configuration must support specifying the ciphers and hmacs and
- their order so that user can specify which algorithms take preference.
-
-
-lib/silcserver
-==============
-
- o Rewrite the entire server. Deprecate apps/silcd as the main server
- implementation and create lib/silcserver/. It is a platform
- independent server library. The apps/silcd will merely provide a
- a simple interface for the library.
-
- o Write the SILC Server library extensively using SILC FSM.
-
- o Server library must support multiple networks. This means that one
- server must be able to create multiple connections that each reach
- different SILC network. This means also that all cache's etc. must
- be either connection-specific or network-specific.
-
- o Library must support dynamic router and server connections. This means
- that connections are create only when they are needed, like when someone
- says JOIN foo@foo.bar.com or WHOIS foobar@silcnet.org.
-
- o Library must support server-to-server connections even though protocol
- prohibits that. The responder of the connection should automatically
- act as a router. The two servers create an own, isolated, SILC network.
- To be used specifically with dynamic connections.
-
- o Library must support multiple threads and must be entirely thread safe.
-
- o Library must have support for SERVICE command.
-
- o The server must be able to run behind NAT device. This means that
- Server ID must be based on public IP instead of private IP.
-
- o The following data must be in per-connection context: client id cache,
- server id cache, channel id cache, all statistics must be
- per-connection.
-
- o The following data must be in per-thread context: command context
- freelist/pool, pending commands, random number generator.
-
- o Do inccoming packet processing in an own FSM thread in the
- server-threads FSM. Same as in client library.
-
- o Reference count all Silc*Entry structures.
-
- Some issues that must be kept in mind from 1.0 and 1.1 silcd's:
-
- o The SERVER_SIGNOFF notify handing is not optimal, because it'll
- cause sending of multiple SIGNOFF notify's instead of the one
- SERVER_SIGNOFF notify that the server received. This should be
- optimized so that the only SERVER_SIGNOFF is sent and not
- SIGNOFF of notify at all (using SIGNOFF takes the idea about
- SERVER_SIGNOFF away entirely).
-
- o Another SERVER_SIGNOFF opt/bugfix: Currently the signoff is
- sent to a client if it is on same channel as the client that
- signoffed. However, the entire SERVER_SIGNOFF list is sent to
- the client, ie. it may receive clients that was not on the
- same channel. This is actually against the specs. It must be
- done per channel. It shouldn't receive the whole list just
- because one client happened to be on same channel.
-
- 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!
+ by it cannot be controlled, same with debugging. SILC Global API
+ MUST be used with all globals on Symbian.
- 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 gethostname() returns "Function not implemented". Others may return
+ the same. We should fix that probably to use RHostResolver and
+ GetHostName().
- o Related to above. If multiple JOINs are received in sequence perhaps
- new key should be created only once, if the JOINs are handeled at the same
- time. Now we create multiple keys and never end up using them because
- many JOINs are processed at the same time in sequence. Only the last
- key ends up being used.
+ o silc_thread_exit should call User::Exit().
