Features wishlist (aka TODO list)

Here is a list of features that will be implemented sooner or later.

Core

Name	Status	Target/Released version	Description
Custom port binding	Not started	Undefined	Allow the user to bind to a custom port/address for the HTTP server.
SSL support for HTTP	Not started	Undefined	Allow the user to provide certificates for the HTTP server.
Authentication on HTTP	Not started	Undefined	Allow user authentication on the HTTP server.
Port to non-x86 arch	Not started	Undefined	Non-x86 arch are not allowed to perform non-aligned access. Proto 802.11 needs special handling for that and the rest of the code needs to be tested. ARM doesn't seem to suffer with unaligned access. Test will have to be done on HPPA or other non-x86 architecture not handling unaligned access.
Make system datastore optional	Not started	Undefined	Don't make a system datastore mandatory.
Improve packet listener	Done	v0.0.11	Make packet listener process protocols earlier in the code in case one of the later protocol issues PROTO_STOP.
Conntrack cleanup	Done	v0.0.7	Cleanup the conntrack code to drop the field_id definitions and handle timeout when no child in the core.
Conntrack expectations	Done	v0.0.7	Allow conntracks to match related connections. Useful for protocols such as FTP or VoIP ones to match the additional connections.
Statistics	Done	v0.0.8	Add support for statistics. It should be possible to add any type of counter or gauge.
Improve locking contention	Done	v0.0.9	Try to reduce lock contention by using gcc atomic builtin where possible. Clock would be a good start.

Name	Status	Target/Released version	Description
DVBv5 API migration	Not started	Undefined	Migrate DVB inputs to the DVBv5 API.

Name	Status	Target/Released version	Description
Signature matching	Not started	Undefined	Allow protocols such as TCP to match the next protocols based on a signature. This will probably be useful only when more protocols are supported.
NFS statistics	Not started	Undefined	Extract statistics about NFS requests, including NFSv4 COMPOUND statements. Example using tshark and awk (doesn't work with NFSv4): http://pastebin.com/ggyVcjV1
SMTP protocol	Done	v0.0.10	Parse SMTP protocol.

Name	Status	Target/Released version	Description
Use home path for default datastore	Not started	Undefined	By default, the system datastore points to the current directory to store the db file (./pom-ng.db). It should point to ~/.pom-ng/sys_dstore.db or similar.
Posgresql	Not started	Undefined	Implement Postgresql support.
Mysql	Not started	Undefined	Implement MySQL support.
