To-do list for the Lua/APR binding

New features

• Encrypted network communication. It appears that APR itself doesn't support this but clearly it's possible because there are dozens of projects that use APR and support encrypted network communication (the Apache HTTP server, ApacheBench, Tomcat, etc.)
• Make it possible to enable text mode for files, pipes and sockets on platforms where there is no distinction between text/binary mode (because CR + LF → LF translation can be useful on UNIX as well)

Known problems

• Find out why apr.xlate() doesn't work on Windows (I can't seem to get apr_iconv working on Windows)
  • Zhiguo Zhao mentioned that he's using apr.xlate() on Windows using the original libiconv instead of apr_iconv (see issue #11)
• Investigate escaping problem in apr_proc_create() as found by the test for the apr.namedpipe_create() function (see etc/tests.lua around line 625)
• Why is the DBD LD_PRELOAD trick needed?! More information

Anything else?

• Propose the libapreq2 binding for inclusion as the official Lua language binding of libapreq2? (first make the binding a lot more complete)
• Maybe I shouldn't be using atexit() to call apr_terminate()? (BTW the whole linked blog post is interesting, as is the follow-up post)
