The correct handling would be to combine them into a list.

Improve the management of bad or malformed request, in order that the server does not suffer from it.

The m4 directory is missing and needed for the autoconfiguration. Maybe move acinclude.m4 in it.

implement an access control service, to allow for secure services.

HTTP-Webserver should send the proper http status code on all errors. This also covers detecting errors in the underlying webserver module and sending of the correct code on these.

The configuration of services sometimes leads to segmentation fault. The problem appears randomly, and one XML configuration file can sometimes work and sometimes fail.

Possible fix : Need to modify the "manage_configuration_xml" function.

Correct MAXDATASIZE is a limitation of how much can be sent/recieved, this should either be a setting in the webserver or avoided at all.

Add a check for the size of the service name displayed on the zeroConf network, max size should be 62 char.
In the current version, setting a zeroConf name superior to 62 char leads to the crash of the library.

Possible fix :
-Change the service name display on ZeroConf to something simpler and shorter

The services' information are stored in the same XML file, no matter if they're secure or not. This leads to the possibility of accessing secured services information through an unsecured connection.

Possible fix : Define two different XML files, one for secured services, one for unsecured ones.

Getting headers behaves strangely. Fixed in last pull request but might need to be looked more closely.

When sending messages in webserver, multiple calls to sendf will override the old message, thus only the latest send message will actually be sent.

The webserver does currently not detect if the whole string was not sent at once, thus may result in loss of data.

mxml have a weird way of storing strings in the xml tree, which (with the current implementation) truncates any text to the first space when parsing xml. Need to update the implementation of hpd_rest.

The webserver should be able to output logs in files.

Hey

XML documents from the webservice refer to a XML Schema at http://cs.au.dk/dithus/xml/devicedescription.xsd

This gives a 404 response.

Would be nice to have the schema, when we are building the XML parser for our project.

Best Regards

Create a maximum number of clients settings, to send errors messages when there is too many connected clients

Currently sending means that the webserver will wait forever for the pipe to become ready, before it sends data.

The response handler should be able to return the response body in chunks.
