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).

Honza Bambas

1. bug 720778 Important threads should have a name for better debugability (looks like I'll steal this back and finish)
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. bug 729182 Create a profiler with nice visual results
   • deps on 720778 (thread names)
   • god first reviews, going to update soon
   • published the visualizer web app
4. bug 728435 develop Necko performance tests (for use with Stone Ridge)
5. bug 725587 Firefox jumps randomly from IPv6 to IPv4 and vice versa in dual-stack environment
6. bug 705755 Reintroduce handling of SSL short write after SSL thread removal
   • update based on review comments
7. 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 717242 crash when quitting firefox while updating a cache manifest
