Anyhow, they are: auth - Provide HTTP Basic Authentication cheetah - Provide a shell-like command line interface #cgi - Provide the traditional CGI interface dirlisting - Show an HTML listing of the content of a directory #fastcgi - Provide FastCGI proxy support liana - Build your own network layer through monkeyd logger - Log requests and common errors mandril - Restrict incoming connections based on the IP address or URI request polarssl - Provide HTTPS using PolarSSL v1.*. The ones that are commented out are global flags and so I did not make them part of the USE_EXPAND, they are still treated as plugins by monkeyd and I have them commented out in monkeyd_plugins.desc with an explanation. Upstream has an entire plugin system which they use extensively and expect contributors to use plugins. There have always been a couple of changes with each bump, eg between 1.1.1 and 1.2.0 regarding ssl. So I expect the same in the future. -- Anthony G.
