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.
But, it's buggy: the server hangs without processing the VALIDITY,
and I can't seem to work out why. As far as I can see, storefile
is getting as far as running the validitycheck, which is supposed to
read that, but never does.
This is especially strange because what seems like the same protocol
doesn't hang when servePut runs it. This made me think that it needed
to use inAnnexWorker to be more like servePut, but that didn't help.
Another small problem with this is that it does create an empty
.git/annex/tmp/ file for the key. Since this will usually be used in
combination with servePut, that doesn't seem worth worrying about much.
This means that when the client sends a truncated data to indicate
invalidity, DATA is not passed the full expected data. That leaves the
P2P connection in a state where it cannot be reused. While so far, they
are not reused, they will be later when proxies are supported. So, have
to close the P2P connection in this situation.
Always truncate instead. The padding risked something not noticing the
content was bad and getting a file that was corrupted in a novel way
with the padding "X" at the end. A truncated file is better.
Made the data-length header required even for v0. This simplifies the
implementation, and doesn't preclude extra verification being done for
v0.
The connectionWaitVar is an ugly hack. In servePut, nothing waits
on the waitvar, and I could not find a good way to make anything wait on
it.
Base64 can include '/', and with UUIDs and keys both used in routes,
the encoding needs to avoid that. Use base64url everywhere in the HTTP
protocol for consistency.
This came down to SendBytes waiting on the waitv. Nothing ever filled
it.
Only Annex.Proxy needs the waitv, and it handles filling it. So make it
optional.
Both are only at bare proof of concept stage. Still need to deal with
signaling validity and invalidity, and checking it.
And there's a bad bug: After -JN*2 requests, another request hangs!
So, I think it's failing to free up the Annex worker and end of request
lifetime.
Perhaps I need to use this:

The reason to use removeBeforeRemoteEndTime is twofold.
First, removeBefore sends two protocol commands. Currently, the HTTP
protocol runner only supports sending a single command per invocation.
Secondly, the http server gets a monotonic timestamp from the client. So
translating back to a POSIXTime would be annoying.
The timestamp flow with a proxy will be:
- client gets timestamp, which gets the monotonic timestamp from the
proxied remote via the proxy. The timestamp is currently not
proxied when there is a single proxy.
- client calls remove-before
- http server calls removeBeforeRemoteEndTime which sends REMOVE-BEFORE
to the proxied remote.
