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 QUIT command should wait for server's disconnection (at least for
- a while) before exiting the application.
-
- 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 Someone changing nickname on the channel from nick to Nick will cause
- that the new nick becomes Nick@host, because the old nick is not
- removed from the cache before adding the new one. This is because
- of the way NICK_CHANGE notify is handled. This should be fixed so
- that if the old nick is to be removed the new nick will *replace*
- the old one.
+ 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.
- o JOIN command's argument handling is buggy. See the XXX in the code.
+ 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 Add perhaps /var/run/silcd.pid for PID information for the server.
+ o Backup router related issues
- o Update idle times only for private/channel messaegs.
+ o Channel user mode changes are notified unnecessarely when
+ switching to backup router on router crash.
- o Add a timeout to handling incmoing JOIN commands. It should be
+ 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 The backup router support described in the protocol specification
- should be done at some point.
-
- 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 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 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 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
- support IPv6.
- o silc_id_render supports only IPv4 based ID's in the file
- lib/silcutil/silcutil.c.
+ 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.
-
-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.
-
-
-TODO After 1.0
-==============
-
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
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.
- 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 OpenPGP certificate support.
o Cipher optimizations (asm, that this) at least for i386 would be nice.
