functions of a webserver

[coolingoff]

so I'm writing a web server and I'm looking for a features to add to the server.

so far I have all the standard http methods like get, head, put, delete etc. and standard logging.

what else can I add? I was thinking about SSL functionality, but I have no idea how to get started, any ideas?

any info/ideas will be appreciated
