proxyRequest was treating UNLOCKCONTENT as a separate request.
That made it possible for there to be two different connections to the
proxied remote, with LOCKCONTENT being sent to one, and UNLOCKCONTENT
to the other one. A protocol error.
git-annex testremote now passes against a http proxied remote.
sendExactly will now be sure to evaluate the whole lazy ByteString.
In this case, the lazy ByteString was exactly the right lenth.
But, it seems that L.take caused it to not actually be fully evaluated.
In servePut, this manifested as gather never being fully evaluated,
which caused the hang.
Very, very subtle, and horrible bug. Clearly the use of lazy ByteString
(or really just laziness) is at fault, and it would be very worth moving
to conduit or whatever to avoid this.
removeOldestProxyConnectionPool will be innefficient the larger the pool
is. A better data structure could be more efficient. Eg, make each value
in the pool include the timestamp of its oldest element, then the oldest
value can be found and modified, rather than rebuilding the whole Map.
But, for pools of a few hundred items, this should be fine. It's O(n*n log n)
or so.
Also, when more than 1 connection with the same pool key exists,
it's efficient even for larger pools, since removeOldestProxyConnectionPool
is not needed.
The default of 1 idle connection could perhaps be larger.. like the
number of jobs? Otoh, it seems good to ramp up and down the number of
connections, which does happen. With 1, there is at most one stale
connection, which might cause a request to fail.
There was an annex worker thread that did not get stopped.
It was stuck in ReceiveMessage from the P2PHandleTMVar.
Fixed by making P2PHandleTMVar closeable.
In serveGet, releaseP2PConnection has to come first, else the
annexworker may not shut down, if it's waiting to read from it.
In proxyConnection, call closeRemoteSide in order to wait for the ssh
process (for example).
The proxy always checks the protocol version of a remote before talking
to it in a version-specific way, so the protocol version in the ProxyParams
is the client's protocol version. The remote will always be at the same or
an older protocol version than the client.
Note that in relayDATAFinish, when the client is at protocol version 0,
the remote must thus be as well, and that's why its version is not
checked in the case for that.
With that clarified, it's evident that, in P2P.Http.State, there's no
need to look at the proxied remote's protocol version at all.
Before it was leaving the protocol version at the default, when it
was actually v0.
v0 has only ever been used over tor, which is probably why this bug was
never noticed.
Refactored git-annex-shell code so this can use checkCanProxy'.
At this point all that remains is opening a proxy connection,
and using a proxy connection.
The user doesn't want to see a uuid in the prompt.
Also, when a http server is proxying, multiple remotes will have the
same base url, and the same password will work for them all.
Port 80 would need root, not a good idea, so pick something that might
work by default.
9418 is git protocol's port. 9419 is used by something, but nothing
known uses 9417, so it's as good a default as any.
