17 |
| ------ |
18 |
| - |
19 |
| - * Implement a simple message implementation which can be used in |
20 |
| - network protocol-specific routines for inter-operability and |
21 |
| - to provide a generic interface to manipulating network-oriented |
22 |
| - messages. |
23 |
| - |
24 |
| - * Implement easy to use protocol client libraries such as (but not |
25 |
| - limited to): |
26 |
| - |
27 |
| - - HTTP 1.0/1.1 |
28 |
| - - (E)SMTP |
29 |
| - - SNMP |
30 |
| - - ICMP |
31 |
| - |
32 |
| - * Implement an efficient easy to use URI class/parser. |
33 |
| - |
34 |
| - * Implement a fully compliant cross-platform asynchronous DNS resolver |
35 |
| - either as a wrapper to external (C) libraries, or as hand-rolled |
36 |
| - implementation. |
37 |
| - |
38 |
| - * Implement a MIME handler which builds message objects from either |
39 |
| - data retrieved from the network or other sources and create |
40 |
| - text/binary representations from existing message objects intended |
41 |
| - for transport over the network. |

43 |
| - |
44 |
| -Scope |
45 |
| ------ |
46 |
| - |
47 |
| - * The library will provide a generic message class which is intended |
48 |
| - to be the common message type used by the protocol libraries. |
49 |
| - |
50 |
| - * The library will only contain client implementations for the various |
51 |
| - supported protocols. |
52 |
| - |
53 |
| - * The library will use only STL and Boost C++ library components, |
54 |
| - utilities, and libraries throughout the implementation. |
55 |
| - |
56 |
| - * The library will strive to use C++ templates and template |
57 |
| - metaprogramming techniques in order to not require the building of |
58 |
| - external shared/static libraries. In other words, the library will be |
59 |
| - header-only and compliant with the C++ standard. |
