Coming as a surprise, this year we have got 4 students to work full-time during the summer on wget. More than all the students who have ever worked for wget before during a Summer of Code! The projects span a broad range of improvements: HSTS and FTPS security hardening, TCP Fast Open and conditional GET for performance, HTTP/2 support on top of nghttp2, and an expanded FTP test suite. Each student is expected to keep their work rebased on the current development branch to ease eventual integration.
