I anticipate lots of external special remote programs will neglect
implementing this. Still, it's the right thing to do to assume that some
of them may write files out of order. Probably most external special
remotes will not be used with a proxy. When someone is using one with a
proxy, they can always get it fixed to send ORDERED.
This didn't work. In case I want to revisit, here's what I tried.

{- Check if this repository can proxy for a specified remote uuid,

This all works fine. But it doesn't check repository sizes yet, and
without repository size checking, once a repository gets full, there
will be no other repository that will want its files.
Use of sha2 seems unncessary, probably alder2 or md5 or crc would have
been enough. Possibly just summing up the bytes of the key mod the number
of repositories would have sufficed. But sha2 is there, and probably
hardware accellerated. I doubt very much there is any security benefit
to using it though. If someone wants to construct a key that will be
balanced onto a given repository, sha2 is certianly not going to stop
them.
This removes versionedExport, which was only used by the S3 special
remote. Instead, versionedexport=yes is a common way for remotes to
indicate that they are versioned.
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.
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.
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.
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.
