2018-09-28http: Stop pipeline after close only if it was not filled beforeJulian Andres Klode
It is perfectly valid behavior for a server to respond with Connection: close eventually, even when pipelining. Turning off pipelining due to that is wrong. For example, some Ubuntu mirrors close the connection after 101 requests. If I have more packages to install, only the first 101 would benefit from pipelining. This commit introduces a new check to only turn of pipelining for future connections if the pipeline for this connection did not have 3 successful fetches before, that should work quite well to detect broken server/proxy combinations like in bug 832113. (cherry picked from commit df696650b7a8c58bbd92e0e1619e956f21010a96) LP: #1794957
2017-12-13report transient errors as transient errorsDavid Kalnischkies
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.
2017-07-26allow the auth.conf to be root:root ownedDavid Kalnischkies
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.
2017-07-26reimplement and document auth.confDavid Kalnischkies
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. Closes: #811181
2017-07-12Reformat and sort all includes with clang-formatJulian Andres Klode
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.
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
