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
2017-07-26fail early in http if server answer is too small as wellDavid Kalnischkies
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.
2017-07-26fail earlier if server answers with too much dataDavid Kalnischkies
We tend to operate on rather large static files, which means we usually get Content-Length information from the server. If we combine this information with the filesize we are expecting (factoring in pipelining) we can avoid reading a bunch of data we are ending up rejecting anyhow by just closing the connection saving bandwidth and time both for the server as well as the client.
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.
2017-06-30Switch to 'http' as the default https methodJulian Andres Klode
The old curl based method is still available as 'curl', 'curl+http', and 'curl+https'.
