2019-03-01Add support for /etc/apt/auth.conf.d/*.conf (netrcparts)Julian Andres Klode
This allows us to install matching auth files for sources.list.d files, for example; very useful. The chmod() stuff we inherited from auth.conf handling is awful, but what can we do? It's not needed anymore in later versions, as they open files before dropping privileges, but ugh, not backporting that.

2016-11-14prevent C++ locale number formatting in text APIs (try 2)David Kalnischkies
Followup of b58e2c7c56b1416a343e81f9f80cb1f02c128e25. Still a regression of sorts of 8b79c94af7f7cf2e5e5342294bc6e5a908cacabf. Closes: 832044 (cherry picked from commit 7303e11ff28f920a6277c159aa46f80c007350bb)
2016-08-31avoid 416 response teardown binding to null pointerDavid Kalnischkies
methods/http.cc:640:13: runtime error: reference binding to null pointer of type 'struct FileFd' This reference is never used in the cases it has a nullptr, so the practical difference is non-existent, but its a bug still. Reported-By: gcc -fsanitize=undefined (cherry picked from commit 4460551841d909d3ee9c1de00156ed3cdf8b1665)
2016-06-01prevent C++ locale number formatting in text APIsDavid Kalnischkies
Setting the C++ locale via std::locale::global(std::locale("")); which would otherwise default to the default C locale (aka: unaffected by setlocale) effects the formatting of numeric types in IO streams, which for output for humans is perfectly sensible, but breaks our many text interfaces used and parsed by us and others without expecting the numbers to be formatted. Closes: #825396 (cherry picked from commit b58e2c7c56b1416a343e81f9f80cb1f02c128e25)

2015-05-22Fix endless loop in apt-get update that can cause disk fillupMichael Vogt
The apt http code parses Content-Length and Content-Range. For both requests the variable "Size" is used and the semantic for this Size is the total file size. However Content-Length is not the entire file size for partital file requests. For servers that send the Content-Range header first and then the Content-Length header this can lead to globbing of Size so that its less than the real file size. This may lead to a subsequent passing of a negative number into the CircleBuf which leads to a endless loop that writes data. Thanks to Anton Blanchard for the analysis and initial patch. LP: #1445239
2015-04-19calculate hashes while downloading in httpsDavid Kalnischkies
We do this in HTTP already to give the CPU some exercise while the disk is heavily spinning (or flashing?) to store the data avoiding the need to reread the entire file again later on to calculate the hashes – which happens outside of the eyes of progress reporting, so you might ended up with a bunch of https workers 'stuck' at 100% while they were busy calculating hashes. This is a bummer for everyone using apt as a connection speedtest as the https method works slower now (not really, it just isn't reporting done too early anymore).
2015-04-19calculate only expected hashes in methodsDavid Kalnischkies
Methods get told which hashes are expected by the acquire system, which means we can use this list to restrict what we calculate in the methods as any extra we are calculating is wasted effort as we can't compare it with anything anyway. Adding support for a new hash algorithm is therefore 'free' now and if a algorithm is no longer provided in a repository for a file, we automatically stop calculating it. In practice this results in a speed-up in Debian as we don't have SHA512 here (so far), so we practically stop calculating it.
2015-04-19handle servers closing encoded connections correctlyDavid Kalnischkies
Servers who advertise that they close the connection get the 'Closes' encoding flag, but this conflicts with servers who response with a transfer-encoding (e.g. encoding) as it is saved in the same flag. We have a better flag for the keep-alive (or not) of the connection anyway, so we check this instead of the encoding. This is in practice not much of a problem as real servers we talk to are HTTP1.1 servers (with keep-alive) and there isn't much point in doing chunked encoding if you are going to close anyway, but our simple testserver stumbles over this if pressed and its a bit cleaner, too.

2015-03-16derive more of https from http methodDavid Kalnischkies
Bug #778375 uncovered that https wasn't properly integrated in the class family tree of http as it was supposed to be leading to a NULL pointer dereference. Fixing this 'properly' was deemed to much diff for practically no gain that late in the release, so commit 0c2dc43d4fe1d026650b5e2920a021557f9534a6 just fixed the synptom, while this commit here is fixing the cause plus adding a test.
2014-12-22dispose http(s) 416 error page as non-contentDavid Kalnischkies
Real webservers (like apache) actually send an error page with a 416 response, but our client didn't expect it leaving the page on the socket to be parsed as response for the next request (http) or as file content (https), which isn't what we want at all… Symptom is a "Bad header line" as html usually doesn't parse that well to an http-header. This manifests itself e.g. if we have a complete file (or larger) in partial/ which isn't discarded by If-Range as the server doesn't support it (or it is just newer, think: mirror rotation). It is a sort-of regression of 78c72d0ce22e00b194251445aae306df357d5c1a, which removed the filesize - 1 trick, but this had its own problems… To properly test this our webserver gains the ability to reply with transfer-encoding: chunked as most real webservers will use it to send the dynamically generated error pages. (The tests and their binary helpers had to be slightly modified to apply, but the patch to fix the issue itself is unchanged.) Closes: 768797

Do not drop privileges in the methods when using a older version of libapt that does not support the chown magic in partial/ yet. To do this DropPrivileges() now will ignore a empty Apt::Sandbox::User. Cleanup all hardcoded _apt along the way.

2014-09-02Make Proxy-Auto-Detect check for each hostMichael Vogt
When doing Acquire::http{,s}::Proxy-Auto-Detect, run the auto-detect command for each host instead of only once. This should make using "proxy" from libproxy-tools feasible which can then be used for PAC style or other proxy configurations. Closes: #759264

2013-10-01handle complete responses to https range requestsDavid Kalnischkies
Servers might respond with a complete file either because they don't support Ranges at all or the If-Range condition isn't statisfied, so we have to parse the headers curl gets ourself to seek or truncate the file we have so far. This also finially adds the testcase testing a bunch of partial situations for both, http and https - which is now all green. Closes: 617643, 667699 LP: 1157943
2013-10-01refactor http client implementationDavid Kalnischkies
No effective behavior change, just shuffling big junks of code between methods and classes to split them into those strongly related to our client implementation and those implementing HTTP. The idea is to get HTTPS to a point in which most of the implementation can be shared even though the client implementations itself is completely different. This isn't anywhere near yet though, but it should beenough to reuse at least a few lines from http in https now. Git-Dch: Ignore
2013-10-01replace "filesize - 1" trick in http with proper 416 handlingDavid Kalnischkies
Our http client requests the "filesize - 1" for the small edgecase of handling a file which was completely downloaded, but not yet moved to the correct place as we get 416 errors in that case, but as we can handle 416 returns now we just special-case the situation of requesting the exact filesize and handle it as a 200 without content instead.
2013-10-01retry without partial data after a 416 responseDavid Kalnischkies
If we get a 416 from the server it means the Range we asked for is above the real filesize of the file on the server. Mostly this happens if the server isn't supporting If-Range, but regardless of how we end up with the partial data, the data is invalid so we discard it and retry with a fresh plate and hope for the best. Old behavior was to consider 416 an error and retry with a different compression until we ran out of compression and requested the uncompressed file (which doesn't exist on most mirrors) with an accept line which server answered with "406 Not Acceptable".
