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.
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:
