This should fix most of the failing tests on the FreeBSD builder,
since it has no 127/8 series IP as a side effect of being trapped in a
jail.

When unquoted, MSYS sees the colon between the drive letter and path as a Unix
path separator and unhelpfully splits on it, feeding only the drive letter as
the command. Much chaos ensues.
I vaguely remember trying to get the test runner to use /letter/path/to/exe
syntax the last time this happened, without success. I doubt a check-code rule
would work, since sometimes it is quoted, and sometimes the quotes are escaped.
Now that servers expose a capability indicating they support
application/mercurial-0.2 and compression, clients can key off
this to say they support responses that are compressed with
various compression formats.
After this commit, the HTTP wire protocol client now sends an
"X-HgProto-<N>" request header indicating its support for
"application/mercurial-0.2" media type and various compression
formats.
This commit also implements support for handling
"application/mercurial-0.2" responses. It simply reads the header
compression engine identifier then routes the remainder of the
response to the appropriate decompressor.
There were some test changes, but only to logging. That points to
an obvious gap in our test coverage. This will be addressed in a
subsequent commit once server support is in place (it is hard to
test without server support).
narrowhg (for its narrow spec) and remotefilelog (for its large batch
requests) would like to be able to make requests with argument sets so
absurdly large that they blow out total request size limit on some
http servers. As a workaround, support stuffing args at the start
of the POST body.
We will probably want to leave this behavior off by default in servers
forever, because it makes the old "POSTs are only for writes"
assumption wrong, which might break some of the simpler authentication
configurations.
This is a backout of 93589179c542, and a partial backout of 9b1628b91e74.
Windows won't execute 'dummyssh' directly, presumably because CreateProcess()
doesn't know how to execute a bash script:
$ hg clone -e "dummyssh" ssh://user@dummy/cloned sshclone
remote: 'dummyssh' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
remote: operable program or batch file.
abort: no suitable response from remote hg!
[255]
With the restoration of python as the executable, $TESTDIR needs to be restored
for these invocations, because python won't search $PATH for 'dummyssh':
$ hg clone -e "python dummyssh" ssh://user@dummy/cloned sshclone
remote: python: can't open file 'dummyssh': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
abort: no suitable response from remote hg!
[255]
$TESTDIR is added to the path, so this is superfluous. Also,
inconsistent use of quotes means we might have broken on tests with
paths containing spaces.
Send the command arguments in the HTTP headers. The command is still part
of the URL. If the server does not have the 'httpheader' capability, the
client will send the command arguments in the URL as it did previously.
Web servers typically allow more data to be placed within the headers than
in the URL, so this approach will:
- Avoid HTTP errors due to using a URL that is too large.
- Allow Mercurial to implement a more efficient wire protocol.
An alternate approach is to send the arguments as part of the request body.
This approach has been rejected because it requires the use of POST
requests, so it would break any existing configuration that relies on the
request type for authentication or caching.
Extensibility:
- The header size is provided by the server, which makes it possible to
introduce an hgrc setting for it.
- The client ignores the capability value after the first comma, which
allows more information to be included in the future.
New argument is silently ignored by both HTTP and SSH servers.
This means we can, for instance, add new flags to getbundle()
to request advanced features (like lightweight-copy-aware bundles),
and older servers will silently ignore this request and send back
a plain bundle.
