curl the next few years - perhaps

Roadmap of things Daniel Stenberg wants to work on next. It is intended to serve as a guideline for others for information, feedback and possible participation.

HSTS

Complete and merge the existing PR.

Loading a huge preload file is probably not too interesting to most people, but using a custom file and reacting to HSTS response header probably are good features.

DNS-over-TLS

Similar to DNS-over-HTTPS. Could share quite a lot of generic code.

ESNI (Encrypted SNI)

See Daniel's post on Support of Encrypted SNI on the mailing list.

Initial work exists in https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/4011

tiny-curl

There's no immediate action for this but users seem keen on being able to building custom minimized versions of libcurl for their products. Make sure new features that are "niche" can still be disabled at build-time.

MQTT

Support receiving and sending MQTT messages. Initial work exists in https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/3514

Hardcode “localhost”

No need to resolve it. Avoid a risk where this is resolved over the network and actually responds with something else than a local address. Some operating systems already do this. Also: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dnsop-let-localhost-be-localhost-02

"menu config"-style build feature selection

Allow easier building of custom libcurl versions with only a selected feature where the available features are easily browsable and toggle-able ON/OFF or similar.
