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

2014-10-24promote filesize to a hashstringDavid Kalnischkies
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.

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)

2014-02-14report https download start only if we really get itDavid Kalnischkies
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.
2013-11-30tests: add a webserverconfig method to abstract configDavid Kalnischkies
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. Git-Dch: Ignore
2013-11-30webserver: use pthreads to handle multiple clientsDavid Kalnischkies
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.

2013-11-30webserver: spurious newline after data confuses curlDavid Kalnischkies
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. Git-Dch: Ignore

2013-07-26request absolute URIs from proxies again (0.9.9.3 regession)David Kalnischkies
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. Closes: 717891
2013-06-24simple fork and pidfile aptwebserverDavid Kalnischkies
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.

2013-06-20trigger NODATA error for invalid InRelease filesDavid Kalnischkies
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
2013-06-20simple URI rewrite rules config for webserverDavid Kalnischkies
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. Git-Dch: Ignore

2013-06-20add a simple webserver for our testcasesDavid Kalnischkies
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. ;) Git-Dch: Ignore
