   3 IPv6 not working right.
   4
   5 Problem with ACME News downloads.  PATH_INFO interferes with the authorization.
   6
   7 Why is the client's IP address showing up in paths?
   8
   9 Fetches with numeric IP addresses and no Host: header are screwing up the
  10 vhost code?

  14 Have directory indexing skip files that start with dot?  Except ..?
  15 In libhttpd.c:
  16 +               if (*(de->d_name) == '.' && *(de->d_name+1) != '.')
  17 +                   continue;
  18                 namlen = NAMLEN(de);
  19
  20 Add comment on INDEX_NAMES that it should be simple filenames only.
  21
  22 The error page generated for non-local referers should include the
  23 original URL as an active link.
  24
  25 Make open in mmc.c use O_NONBLOCK flag, to prevent DOS attack via
  26 a named pipe?

  29
  30 Document how symlinks interact with .htpasswd - authorization is checked
  31 on the result of the symlink, and not the origin.
  32
  33 SIGHUP log re-opening doesn't work if you started as root.
  34
  35 Change redirect to put the Refresh command in the HTTP headers, instead of
  36 a META tag.
  37
  38 Add TCP_NODELAY, but after CGIs get spawned.
  39
  40 Add stat cache?  1 minute expiry?
  41
  42 Ifdef the un-close-on-exec CGI thing for Linux only.
  43
  44 Add keep-alives, via a new state in thttpd.c.

  48 The special world-permissions checking is probably bogus.  For one
  49 thing, it doesn't handle restrictive permissions on parent directories
  50 properly.  It should probably just go away.
  51
  52 redirect should interpret a path with a trailing / as /index.html
  53
  54 ssi should change $cwd to the source document's location.
  55
  56 Allow .throttle files in individual directories.
  57
  58 Log-digesting scripts.
  59
  60 Config web page.
  61     Common errors:
  62         Not realizing that -c overrides CGI_PATTERN instead of augmenting it.
  63         Using a directory name for the -c pattern.
