Features...

[Christian Hopp]

Hi!

Here are some features for discussion...

1) Generic protocol test...

   if failed port 1234 [{expect|send} "string" [{expect|send} "string"] ...]

   Actually it is quite self explaining...  for every "send" the
   "string" is sent through the connection (w/ or w/o ssl), and for
   every "expect" the return is read and matched against the "string".

2) A watchdog thread... (I think I have mentioned this hidden
   somewhere in a mail some days ago)

   We detach the validation as one thread, then we do already have the
   http thread and whatever might come.  The main thread become the
   watchdog.  After each validation and after each accept (w/ or w/o
   timeout) both do set a semaphore which is checked by the watchdog.
   In case one of them has not done this the thread is restarted or
   monit is restarted.

3) Auth via htpasswd...

   auth /path [user, ...]

   where "path" is the fq path it the corresponding htpasswd and
   "user" is a user grant access.  If user is omitted all users do have
   access.
