This shouldn't make a practical difference for most people, but for edge
cases it avoids DNS lookups and additionally prevents us from perfoming
unneeded SRV requests, too.

The Fail method for acquire methods has a boolean parameter indicating
the transient-nature of a reported error. The problem with this is that
Fail is called very late at a point where it is no longer easily
identifiable if an error is indeed transient or not, so some calls were
and some weren't and the acquire system would later mostly ignore the
transient flag and guess by using the FailReason instead.
Introducing a tri-state enum we can pass the information about fatal or
transient errors through the callstack to generate the correct fails.
|

If retries are enabled only transient errors are retried, which are very
few errors. At least for some HTTP codes it could be beneficial to retry
them through so adding them seems like a good idea if only to be more
consistent in what we report.
|

The casts are useless, but the reports show some where we can actually
improve the code by replacing them with better alternatives like
converting whatever int type into a string instead of casting to a
specific one which might in the future be too small.

This was a left over from the autodetect move.

This avoids running the Proxy-Auto-Detect script inside the
untrusted (well, less trusted for now) sandbox. This will allow
us to restrict the http method from fork()ing or exec()ing via
seccomp.

Opening the file before we drop privileges in the methods allows us to
avoid chowning in the acquire main process which can apply to the wrong
file (imagine Binary scoped settings) and surprises users as their
permission setup is overridden.
There are no security benefits as the file is open, so an evil method
could as before read the contents of the file, but it isn't worse than
before and we avoid permission problems in this setup.

On HTTP Connect we since recently look into the auth.conf file for login
information, so we should really look for all proxies into the file as
the argument is the same as for sources entries and it is easier to
document (especially as the manpage already mentions it as supported).
|
|
We have support for an netrc-like auth.conf file since 0.7.25 (closing
518473), but it was never documented in apt that it even exists and
netrc seems to have fallen out of usage as a manpage for it no longer
exists making the feature even more arcane.
On top of that the code was a bit of a mess (as it is written in c-style)
and as a result the matching of machine tokens to URIs also a bit
strange by checking for less specific matches (= without path) first.
We now do a single pass over the stanzas.
In practice early adopters of the undocumented implementation will not
really notice the differences and the 'new' behaviour is simpler to
document and more usual for an apt user.

Failing on too much data is good, but we can do better by checking for
exact filesizes as we know with hashsums how large a file should be, so
if we get a file which has a size we do not expect we can drop it
directly, regardless of if the file is larger or smaller than what we
expect which should catch most cases which would end up as hashsum
errors later now a lot sooner.

It is highly unlikely to encounter fields which start with HTTP in
practice, but we should really be a bit more restrictive here.

This makes it easier to see which headers includes what.
The changes were done by running
git grep -l '#\s*include' \
| grep -E '.(cc|h)$' \
| xargs sed -i -E 's/(^\s*)#(\s*)include/\1#\2 include/'
To modify all include lines by adding a space, and then running
./git-clang-format.sh.
|

APT considered any response with a Content-Length to have a
body, even if the value of the header was 0. A 0 length body
however, is equal to no body.

An unknown code should be handled the same as the x00 code of this
group, but for redirections we used to treat 300 (and a few others)
as an error while unknown codes were considered redirections.
Instead we check now explicitly for the redirection codes we support for
redirecting (and add the 308 defined in RFC 7538) to avoid future
problems if new 3xx codes are added expecting certain behaviours.
Potentially strange would have been e.g. "305 Use Proxy" sending a
Location for the proxy to use – which wouldn't have worked and resulted
in an error anyhow, but probably confused users in the process.
|
|
This fixes issues with sourceforge where the redirector includes
such a Content-Range in a 302 redirect. Since we do not really know
what file is meant in a redirect, let's just ignore it for all
responses other than 416 and 206.
Maybe we should also get rid of the other errors, and just ignore
the field in those cases as well?

Most of them in (old) code comments. The two instances of user visible
string changes the po files of the manpages are fixed up as well.

This 'method' is the abstract base for http and https and should as such
be called out like this rather using an easily confused name.
