Peter's status report - #11 of 17

[Peter O <perdo.olma () gmail com>]

Hi all,

Accomplishments:
* modified http.lua so that returns of functions making requests are
always a table
* committed irc-sasl-brute and posted it to the list
* modified httpspider so that it doesn't treat hosts differing only on
a 'www' prefix as being unequal
* modified the LFS patches that Patrik has posted to the list a few
months ago, so they would work with the current revision and added
some minor changes from LuaFileSystem's git repo. I've put together
two patches - one that only adds mkdir support, and the other one -
the whole LFS. I also posted statistics showing the size differences
that those patches introduce to nmap.
* started doing some research regarding http pipeline not working
properly, but didn't get far yet.

Priorities:
* get to the bottom of the pipelining bug
* research auto-pipelining feature for http.lua
* do some work on new scripts - SSH Key Acceptance Checker could be
one candidate; Patrick also suggested a nice improvement to
http-hostkey.


- Peter
