2014-05-09reenable pipelining via hashsum reordering supportDavid Kalnischkies
Now that methods have the expected hashes available they can check if the response from the server is what they expected. Pipelining is one of those areas in which servers can mess up by not supporting it properly, which forced us to disable it for the time being. Now, we check if we got a response out of order, which we can not only use to disable pipelining automatically for the next requests, but we can fix it up just like the server responded in proper order for the current requests. To ensure that this little trick works pipelining is only attempt if we have hashsums for all the files in the chain which in theory reduces the use of pipelining usage even on the many servers which work properly, but in practice only the InRelease file (or similar such) will be requested without a hashsum – and as it is the only file requested in that stage it can't be pipelined even if we wanted to. Some minor annoyances remain: The display of the progress we have doesn't reflect this change, so it looks like the same package gets downloaded multiple times while others aren't at all. Further more, partial files are not supported in this recovery as the received data was appended to the wrong file, so the hashsum doesn't match. Both seem to be minor enough to reenable pipelining by default until further notice through to test if it really solves the problem. This therefore reverts commit 8221431757c775ee875a061b184b5f6f2330f928.
2014-03-13cleanup headers and especially #includes everywhereDavid Kalnischkies
Beside being a bit cleaner it hopefully also resolves oddball problems I have with high levels of parallel jobs. Git-Dch: Ignore Reported-By: iwyu (include-what-you-use)

2014-02-14allow http protocol to switch to httpsDavid Kalnischkies
switch protocols at random is a bad idea if e.g. http can switch to file, so we limit the possibilities to http to http and http to https. As very few people (less than 1% according to popcon) have https installed this likely changes nothing in terms of failure. The commit is adding a friendly hint which package needs to be installed though.
2014-02-11use utimes instead of utimensat/futimensDavid Kalnischkies
cppcheck complains about the obsolete utime as it was removed in POSIX1.2008 and recommends usage of utimensat/futimens instead as those are in POSIX and so commit 9ce3cfc9 switched to them. It is just that they aren't as portable as the standard suggests: At least our kFreeBSD and Hurd ports stumble over it at runtime. So to make both, the ports and cppcheck happy, we use utimes instead. Closes: 738567
2014-01-16correct some style/performance/warnings from cppcheckDavid Kalnischkies
The most "visible" change is from utime to utimensat/futimens as the first one isn't part of POSIX anymore. Reported-By: cppcheck Git-Dch: Ignore
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
