Some Privoxy-related tasks, sorted by the time they
have been added, not by priority.
The latest version should be available at:

1) Add more regression tests. Filters should be tested automatically
(variables too). Could probably reuse large parts of Privoxy-Filter-Test.
14) Allow to filter POST parameters.
-15) If trusted CGI pages are requested without trusted referrer,
- set the status code to 403 instead of 200.
-
16) Filter SSL encrypted content as well.
At the beginning we could use a unencrypted connection between
running out of stack space, causing the kernel to kill Privoxy
ungracefully.
-121) Add HTTP/2 support. As a first step, incomming HTTP/1.x requests
+121) Add HTTP/2 support. As a first step, incoming HTTP/1.x requests
should be translated to outgoing HTTP/2 requests where possible
(and if desired by the user).

141) Port Privoxy to CloudABI, which, despite the name, is actually

currently can result in client requests to config.privoxy.org on the
Internet which may not be desirable.
-149) Use poll() for socket selection so the number of sockets Privoxy
- can deal with isn't limited to FD_SETSIZE anymore.
-
150) Add blacklistd support.
151) Let the dok-tidy target work cross-platform without introducing
duplicated requests are pointless even if they don't end up with
a 404.
+153) Catch SIGINT and use it to close the listen socket, serve
+ remaining connections and shut down. This would allow higher
+ uptime and make testing more convenient.
+
+154) Underline links in docs and cgi pages. More precisely,
+ don't mess with the browser defaults for link underlining.
+
+155) The sig_handler() shouldn't call log_error().
+ While it isn't known to cause actual problems in normal operation,
+ it's technically incorrect and causes crashes when running in
+ valgrind.
+
+156) Reject socks requests with an explicit error message similar
+ to the one used for ftp. Motivation:
+ https://lists.privoxy.org/pipermail/privoxy-users/2017-March/000195.html
+
+158) Use a single thread to wait for new requests on reused client connections.
+ Currently the thread that handles the first request on a connection
+ stays responsible for the client connect until it gets closed.
+ In case of lots of idle connections lots of waiting threads are used.
+ While it's conceivable that this ineffiency is irrelevant from a
+ performance point of view, using a single thread should reduce Privoxy's
+ memory footprint a bit which may be noticeable in case of multi-user setups
+ with hundreds of idle connections.
