The fstat function was undefined, but never used since a stat object
was always passed in the optional st argument. Passing st is now
mandatory.
This bug crept in when util was split up into posix and windows
modules. The fstat function is still defined in util, but importing it
into posix would create an import cycle which seems unnecessary.
- chunk to _chunk
- _prime to _chunkraw
- _chunkclear for cache clearing
- _chunk calls _chunkraw
- clean up _prime a bit
- simplify users in revision and checkinlinesize
- drop file descriptor passing (we're better off opening fds lazily
- If remote does not support Range header, 200 is answered instead of 206. The
HTTPRangeHandler left these responses unchanged, so the data has to be sliced
by the receiver.
- httprangereader file pointer was not updated.
urllib2 and httplib does not support using CONNECT proxy requests, but
only regular requests over the proxy. This does not work with HTTPS
requests as they typically require that the client issues a CONNECT to
the proxy to give a direct connection to the remote HTTPS server.
This is solved by duplicating some of the httplib functionality and
tying it together with the keepalive library such that a HTTPS
connection that need to be proxied can be proxied by letting a
connection be established to the proxy server and then subsequently
performing the normal request to the specified server through the
proxy server.
As it stands, the code also purports to support HTTPS proxies, i.e.
proxies that you connect to using SSL. These are extremely rare and
nothing is done to ensure that CONNECT requests can be made to these
as that would require multiple SSL handshakes. This use case is also
not supported by most other contemporary web tools like curl and
Firefox3.
