Open Thread: Your Pet Peeves

I'm writing this post to ask potential users of the C++ Network Library what their worst experiences are with existing networking libraries, and what you'd want to see (or not see) in a new network library. I personally have my motivation for working on a new network library in C++ because of past (and present) experiences. These personal motivations are already pretty much documented in the rationale for the library (and the architecture document) but I'd like to know what people think should be the other goals of the C++ Network Library.

Currently, I'm focusing my time implementing an HTTP Client with the most features useful to me (and the new generation of web-aware software) that I'm having tunnel-vision as to what I'm supposed to be doing and how I'm supposed to be doing it. Knowing from the audience what they would want to see next would be a nice refresher to let the team know what sort of thing we should be working on in the project.

So what are your pet peeves (and/or worst experiences) with existing networking libraries that you want addressed in a new network library? Let us know!

It's a bit late... I know.

Right now for networking I'm using win32 WinHTTP, POCO with Stunnel (email) and Qt.

What I hate about existing C++ network libraries is the really bad support, when it's not the lack of support,of secured protocols (HTTPS, SFT¨P...).

Also there's little love for SMTP/POP/NNTP as if the web was the only game in town.

Anyway err on abercrombie Outlet the side of caution and choose the abercrombie and fitch larger size. If the abercrombie sale size 20 blouse is too big, but abercrombie & fitch the size 18 is too small, choose abercrombie the larger blouse. This will enable you to have it fitted. A seamstress or tailor abercrombie uk can't do anything with a garment that's too small abercrombie london -- he or she can, however, tailor a garment abercrombie and Fitch Polo that's too big to fit you to a T.Most plus size abercrombie Polos women's clothing will fail to fit one particular part of her body.
