Networking/Archive/IndividualPriorities

General Priorities

These priorities apply to all team members at all times:

1. Security bugs rated sg:moderate or higher.
2. Review requests older than one week.

These should be taken care of before any other work is done.

Individual Priorities

Only networking team members should be changing priorities. If you have questions about priorities or anything else on this list please email the relevant person or Josh Aas (networking team manager).

Brian Smith

Last Week:

• Out of town

This Week and Next Week:

1. Drive patch review queue to zero
2. TLS 1.1
3. Check in checkin-needed patches for NSS
4. Prototyping certificate whitelisting mechanism
5. Work on libpkix enabled by default (bug 651246)

Honza Bambas

1. bug 720778 Important threads should have a name for better debugability (took by Brian?)
2. Compare Firefox with other browsers using Wireshark on some common or known not-well performing pages
   • According my first quick tests I have to say we load pages in many cases faster then Chrome (aurora channel to dev channel compare)
   • next: find pages we load significantly slower
3. Create a profiler with nice visual results
   • finalizing C++ instrumentation code to polish for review/feedback
   • hacking SIMILE timeline code mostly done, probably ready to make it public for first use
4. bug 728435 develop Necko performance tests (for use with Stone Ridge)
5. bug 536509 localStorage does not obey "third-party cookies" pref
6. bug 725587 Firefox jumps randomly from IPv6 to IPv4 and vice versa in dual-stack environment
7. bug 705755 Reintroduce handling of SSL short write after SSL thread removal
   • update based on review comments
8. bug 715837 Crash @ mozilla::net::HttpChannelParent::RecvMarkOfflineCacheEntryAsForeign
9. bug 536324 Change nsIChannel to support 64-bit content-length
10. bug 451081 Add flag to protocol handler to distinguish that trust domain is the whole spec (finish this!)
11. bug 692817 Create test for it
12. bug 621446 Crash [@ mozilla::net::HttpChannelParent::RecvRedirect2Verify ]
    • waiting for results of the updated debugging patch (landed on Gecko 12)

Few bugs I released but would like to work on them eventually if not finished until then by someone else.

4. Get HTTP pipelining patches into the tree.. needs measurements.. reviews complete. pending nightly==14 to not step on spdy
5. tcp/tls preconnect idl (for search box) 723628
