Tasks planned for Q1 2017

• Performance analysis and optimizations for speed and memory footprint
• Refactor
• split the json serialization and HTTP client into independent sub-projects
• New features
• Cache permanent redirects in a global repository LRU cache
• Add Context.Sleep() to sleep inside the co-routine
• Add RestClient constructor that use existing ioservice()/thread. Needed if we want to use the library with existing asio based code.
• Add RestClient() constructor for use by the calling (main) thread. (To avoid worker thread in simple cases).
• Implement Chunked Requests (chained DataWriter interface)
• General support In HTTP Requests module
• Async from json Serialization
• Async from producer callback
• Async from producer loop
• Implement asynchronous iterators for outgoing data and integrate with json generator.
• Improve security
• Put memory constraints on strings and lists in the json deserialization
• Add options to secure TLS connections (avoid weak encryption and verify server certs).
• Implement Form Data encoding
• Portability
• Fedora 25
• Debian Stable (Jessie)
• Debian Testing (latest update)
• Windows 10 / Visual Studio
• macOS
• Ubuntu LTS
• Windows 10 / clang
• Cent OS
• FreeBSD
• OpenBSD
• Implement asynchronous iterators for received data and integrate with json parser.
• Implement generic support for 'pages' of data, where we re-query for more data in the background

Tasks planned for Q2 2017

• HTTP 2 support

Future maybe someday features

• Json
• std::set
• True generic container support (any object that support forward iteration and insert/add)
• Add data-type suitable for representing money (must be able to serialize deserialize like float/ BigDecimal)
• Mime content in HTTP body
• Mime multipart Requests
• Mime multipart Responses
• Circuit Breaker (Fail fast for hosts that don't work)
• Bulkheads (Use separate connection pools for different services)
• Make performance comparisons with similar REST libraries for Java, Python and Ruby
• Improved Proxy support
• Socks 5
