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.

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

It is a very simple hashstring, which is why it isn't contributing to
the usability of a list of them, but it is also trivial to check and
calculate, so it doesn't hurt checking it either as it can combined even
with the simplest other hashes greatly complicate attacks on them as you
suddenly need a same-size hash collision, which is usually a lot harder
to achieve.

Beside being a bit cleaner it hopefully also resolves oddball problems
I have with high levels of parallel jobs.

Reporting it via progress means that e.g. a redirect will trigger it,
too, so you get a Get & Hit while http only reports a Hit as it should
be.

The URI to use to set a config option is a bit arcane to write/remember
and checking if the setting was successful doubly so.

Clients like browsers prefer to open many connections and keep them open
for a while, so that pages with lot of subelements would take a while to
load (if at all), by using threads as all servers do some way or another
we can resolve this. libapt is not intended to be pthread-safe and stuff
like the storage of the last return code doesn't make too much sense if
multiple clients interact with us, but it is good enough for now and an
other interesting (mis)use of libapt in general.

Again, not (currently) used by the tests itself, but in interactive
usage of the webserver itself.

pretty much useless for the testcases, but handy to test the webserver
itself in 'real world' environments

Webserver wrongly sends an additional newline after the data which
causes curl to believe that the next request on this socket has no
header data and so includes all headers in the data output.

Commit 2b9c9b7f28b18f6ae3e422020e8934872b06c9f3 not only removes
keep-alive, but also changes the request URI send to proxies which are
required to be absolute URIs rather than the usual absolute paths.

Forking only after being ready to accept clients avoids running races
with the tests which sometimes failed on the first 'apt-get update'
(or similar) with the previous background-start and hope for the best…
The commit fixes also some oversight output-order changes in regards to
Description-md5 and (I-M-S) race conditions in various tests.

With the selfgrown splitting we got the problem of not recovering
from networks which just reply with invalid data like those sending
us login pages to authenticate with the network (e.g. hotels) back.
The good thing about the InRelease file is that we know that it must
be clearsigned (a Release file might or might not have a detached sig)
so if we get a file but are unable to split it something is seriously
wrong, so there is not much point in trying further.
The Acquire system already looks out for a NODATA error from gpgv,
so this adds a new error message sent to the acquire system in case
the splitting we do now ourselves failed including this magic word.
Closes: #712486

we have a test which required traditionally lighttpd to be executed
as it requires a webserver supporting some kind of URI rewriting.
Now with some lines of code our own webserver can do this and the
testcase can be enabled by default. This test hinted at the bug fixed
in the previous commit, so having more tests which can easily be run
is a good thing.

APT needs to acquire data in a secure fashion over an inherently
unsecure way, known as the internet, while communicating with
unreliable partners, known as webservers and proxies.
For your integration tests we so far relied on 'normal' webservers,
but all of them have certain quirks and none is able to provide us
with all quirks which can be observed in the wild and we therefore
have to test with, so this webserver isn't trying to be fast, secure
or feature complete, but to provide all the quirks we need in a
consistent way.
This webserver also makes the APT project self-contained, as it is now
able to generate, serve as well as acquire package indexes. ;)
