Work

In no particular order - some reminders for me and ideas I want to expand upon ...

• Win32 send: Finish the bug fix for this.
• tcludp: improve integration with fconfigure and move over to a socket-style udp command. (doing)
• DDE bugs
• vfs: do a shell namespace extension for vfs filesystems. Would fix the tk_openFile issue for vfs files as well as being very cool under windows explorer.
• autoproxy: sort out the authentication end of things.
• autoproxy: Finish implementation of NTLM authentication.
• http: integrate autoproxy into http package
• http: integrate SSL via http proxy with the http package.
• http: move along with HTTP/1.1 some time.
