[cpp-netlib-devel] Offer of help

[Divye K. <div...@gm...>]

Hello,
   I am currently a second year student pursuing my B.Tech degree in
Computer Science at the Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee, India
and Glyn Matthews from the Boost devel list told me that this project
was looking for contributors. I've had a look at the project source
code and the mailing list archives and it seems that a lot of devel
work is to be done. Can someone point out where the devel work stopped
and whether completing a major portion of this library would be a
suitable project for GSoC under the Boost banner?

Yours sincerely,
Divye Kapoor

Hi Divye,

Thanks for your expression of interest!

The following things need to be done for the release of version 1.0:

* HTTP 1.0/1.1 Client Implementation and Unit Tests
* Documentation
* Examples

As far as HTTP 1.0/1.1 is concerned, much of the work that needs to be
done has something to do with a better parser implementation than what's
currently in there. There was some expression of interest from the
libPion developers as far as incorporating the HTTP 1.1 parser they have
implemented (incremental HTTP 1.1 parser implementation) to be
incorporated/integrated into the library. This seems to be the more
involved effort that neither I nor the libpion developers have enough
time to be able to tackle.

There are some other protocols that seem interesting to implement. One
is XMPP and the other is ESMTP. These protocols won't be necessary for
1.0 release though, and the path is for 1.0 to be released then
submitted for review as part of Boost.

If you think you have time to take over the HTTP 1.0/1.1 client
implementatons and re-use the message primitive already at the base of
the library, that would be fine. Let me know what your sourceforge user
ID is so that either I or Glyn can add you to the project.

All kinds of help would be welcome.

Thanks again!

Hi Divye,

I am currently developingcode/design for XMPP protocol (the protocol behind
gtalk, jabber). I am keeping track of progress at cpp-netlib, though both in
philosophy and application, xmpp is different from netlib. As Dean has said,
parsing is one of the greater issues for cpp-netlib, so is the case for
xmpp. Moreover xmpp is a p2p client, so all issues related to p2p
communication comes in picture.

I have put some code related to xmpp. Though, I am currently redesigning
many a thing. Since the design is not very clean/clear yet, so I am skeptic
whether it can be piece for GSoC or not. Nevertheless you are welcome to
work on it, if you want to work for long term, :)

Reetesh Mukul

[Glyn M. <gly...@gm...>]

Since there seems to be quite a lot of ideas floating around, both here and
on the boost developer list, might it be possible to put a proposal for GSoC
together?  I have no experience of this, but maybe some of the more
experienced boost developers can assist?

Re: [cpp-netlib-devel] Offer of help

[Dean M. C. B. <dmb...@fr...>]

I'm all for this Glyn, let me look into the requirements for that. I
think there needs to be someone that's community involved who's going to
mentor the endeavor. I think only existing Boost maintainers/developers
are allowed to mentor GSoC participants.

Maybe one of the people in the Boost list would like to take on the GSoC
project to push the library development forward? I certainly don't mind
anybody taking over the project at this time.

I would be interested in taking the development of this library
forward, though I doubt that I'm capable of taking over the
responsibility of development of a library of Boost's standards on my
own. In any case, I'll have loads of free time for coding only after
the sem is over. Before that, exams and other ex-cur activites eat up
a lot of time. Till then, a bit here and a bit there...

In any case, my sourceforge id is: divye  (but obvious!) :-)

Yours sincerely,
Divye Kapoor

PS: Can this library be added to the boost wiki page on GSoC ideas?

I posted a GSoC proposal for the Pion Network Library (libpion) on the  
wiki Doug setup at:

http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?Google_Summer_Of_Code_2008

Maybe we can make part of this project merging code from the two  
projects together?

Take care,
-Mike

Re: [cpp-netlib-devel] Offer of help

[Divye K. <div...@gm...>]

What will be the common ground for merging the two libraries? Will the
cpp-netlib message template design eventually work like an adapter for
the pion classes or will a redesigned interface have to be worked out?

Yours sincerely,
Divye Kapoor

[cpp-netlib-devel] Common Ground Between Libpion and cpp-netlib (WAS RE: Offer of help)

The common ground would be the message type that cpp-netlib provides.
Libpion is mostly an HTTP framework, which I believe has compiled
components -- while cpp-netlib aims to be a header only library.

I personally haven't gone through what the lipion message types look
like, but I do know they have a complete HTTP 1.1 incremental parser
implemented, a URI parser (someone has already noted that they are
implementing a URI parser, or are interested in refactoring the URI
parser from the current HTTP implementation in cpp-netlib). It would be
nice to be able to make the incremental parser a header-only
implementation (using the template tag trick).

I can discuss in greater detail if you (or anybody else) would be
interested to know how that can be done.

I hope this helps.
