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.
TODO/bugs In SILC Client Library
================================
- o JOIN command's argument handling is buggy. See the XXX in the code.
+ o Process the NO_SUCH_CLIENT_ID for WHOIS and IDENTIFY, since it can
+ be received for example after sending MSG to non-existent client.
+ It actually should be done always when it is received and the old
+ entry should be removed.
+
+ Doing this now however causes that /msg nick might give "no such nick"
+ for the first time, and then after the entry is removed /msg nick
+ may actually to go any nick client, which is not desired behaviour.
+ The /msg must be fixed to use the specific nickname user typed
+ (nick must not match nick@host).
TODO/bugs In SILC Server
========================
- 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 Backup router related issues
- 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 Channel user mode changes are notified unnecessarely when
+ switching to backup router on router crash.
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
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 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.
+ 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!
+
TODO/bugs In SILC Libraries
===========================
- o Optimizations to lib/silcsftp
-
- o Do not allocate new req for every client request. Use
- preallocated requests and recycle them.
-
- o Use SilcList instead of SilcDList for requests. It is faster.
+ o WIN32 silc_net_create_connection_async does not work the same way
+ than on Unix. Do it with threads on WIN32. The function works but
+ is not actually async currently.
- o Do not allocate new buffer for every packet. Use preallocated
- buffer and reallocate only if necessary.
-
- 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. 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
- support IPv6.
- o silc_id_render supports only IPv4 based ID's in the file
- lib/silcutil/silcutil.c.
-
-
-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. The function works but is not
- actually async currently.
-
-
-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.
+ o Do not let the silcdefs.h lay around in distributions.
TODO After 1.0
==============
o Compression routines are missing. The protocol supports packet
- compression thus it must be implemented. SILC Comp API must be
+ 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 Implement the defined SilcDH API. The definition is in
+ lib/silccrypt/silcdh.h.
+
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.
to start writing one myself. Anyhow, the OpenSSL X.509 lib should
be checked.
- Other package that should be checked is the NSS's X509 library.
+ Other package that should be checked is the NSS's X509 library,
+ which I like more over OpenSSL package.
- o SSH2 public keys support. Maybe - not really needed but could be
- nice as SSH is widely used all over the place. SILC Protocol
- supports SSH2 public keys.
+ o SSH2 public keys support.
o OpenPGP certificate support.
