Future Directions

The hybrid P2P nature of Reptile really lends itself to a LOT of innovation. In fact at this point we are starting to come up with more ideas than we have time to implement.

This document was created in order to keep track of these ideas so that others have an idea of where Reptile is moving.


Transparent HTTP proxies.

Reptile could be setup as a transparent HTTP proxy. It would be fairly trivial to put a Java HTTP proxy in each version of Reptile (this might be a feature in 1.1 or so).

This should allow multiple Reptile nodes to use each other as a proxies in order to bypass network issues and censorship.

Since most browsers support javascript style automatic proxy detection, just configure your browser to point to Reptile and have it do a search for proxies. Reptile would then create javascript which would configure your browser correctly.
