[cpp-netlib-devel] 0.8-devel progress, more async HTTP server handler goodness

[Dean M. B. <mik...@gm...>]

Hi Everyone,

I'd just like to give a quick update on the changes that are already
in the 0.8-devel branch.

1. We already have a pretty stable interface for the asynchronous HTTP
connection that handlers can deal with. I've tried documenting more of
my thinking into the commit messages for the recent commits I've been
pushing -- hopefully those make sense. ;)

2. I'm close to finishing the implementation details of the
asynchronous HTTP connection. This is on target for the 1st week of
November deadline, so I'm confident we can ship the next release by
the end of that week.

3. There are a few issues I'd like to resolve as soon as I finish the
HTTP server implementation that have something to do with the client
interface among other things. It would be great if others can take a
look at the list of issues at
http://github.com/cpp-netlib/cpp-netlib/issues and vote on the ones
you want me to finish first, or comment whether you want those fixed
in 0.8. I'll try to squeeze in as many issue resolutions I can before
I package the next release (not sure if it's 0.8 or 0.7.1 yet).

4. There's already a skeleton/outline for the documentation of the
HTTP client and HTTP server interfaces. A reference manual is sorely
lacking in the documentation, and it would be good for others to get
their hands dirty with this one. I look forward to getting pull
requests for the documentation from those who would want to contribute
in this regard. :)

So that's it for now, I'll be in holiday mode starting tomorrow Oct 31
until Nov 2 (here in the Philippines). I'll be online briefly in the
morning Philippine time to check mail before I head on to my home
town, so if you have any questions you need answered before Wednesday
(PHT) please ask away so I can respond quickly. :)

Have a great weekend everyone! I look forward to getting back into it by Nov 2.
