2017-06-26deal with 3xx httpcodes as required by HTTP/1.1 specDavid Kalnischkies
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.
2017-01-24basehttp: Only read Content-Range on 416 and 206 responsesJulian Andres Klode
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? LP: #1657567

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. Gbp-Dch: Ignore Reported-By: spellintian
2016-12-31rename ServerMethod to BaseHttpMethodDavid Kalnischkies
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. Gbp-Dch: Ignore
