[cpp-netlib-devel] Call For Help: Testers

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

Hi Everyone,

Much is going to happen in cpp-netlib with 0.9. Here's a list of
things I have on my hit-list (some carried-over from 0.8):

---8<--
Improve the Client and Server interfaces. Explore the following:

• Support Boost.Iostreams for Body content in Client and Server APIs
• Client-Specific Enhancements
∘ Cookie Management
∘ Proxy Support
• Easy Tag Mixing (PP based Tag Building)
• Boost.Parameter interface for functions and constructors
• Server-Specific Enhancements
∘ Initial Service Framework
∘ Web Development Framework
• ESMTP Support
∘ ESMTP 1.0 Client

Next Steps:
  Document the HTTP Connection concept
  Document the thread pool concept
  Implement space-efficient HTTP request/response types
  Make request/response types PODs
  Support ranges to be made part of the message types
  Boost.Parameter in Templates for Client and Server
---8<--

That said, I would really appreciate it if people can help test the
library on various platforms. I'll be making lots of changes -- expect
some interface breaking changes, especially on the client side,
because the current interface is very limited.

Let me know if you need any specific information, but just people
testing with bjam and/or cmake on their platforms would very much be
appreciated. This is in the meantime until I get to a point where I
can dedicate enough machine power to do the same.

Have a good one and I hope to hear from you soon!
