Patrick Steinhardt 0c7f49dd 2017-06-30T13:39:01 Make sure to always include "common.h" first Next to including several files, our "common.h" header also declares various macros which are then used throughout the project. As such, we have to make sure to always include this file first in all implementation files. Otherwise, we might encounter problems or even silent behavioural differences due to macros or defines not being defined as they should be. So in fact, our header and implementation files should make sure to always include "common.h" first. This commit does so by establishing a common include pattern. Header files inside of "src" will now always include "common.h" as its first other file, separated by a newline from all the other includes to make it stand out as special. There are two cases for the implementation files. If they do have a matching header file, they will always include this one first, leading to "common.h" being transitively included as first file. If they do not have a matching header file, they instead include "common.h" as first file themselves. This fixes the outlined problems and will become our standard practice for header and source files inside of the "src/" from now on.
Carlos Martín Nieto ccb85c8f 2014-06-25T16:27:43 ssh: make sure to ask for a username and use the same one In order to know which authentication methods are supported/allowed by the ssh server, we need to send a NONE auth request, which needs a username associated with it. Most ssh server implementations do not allow switching the username between authentication attempts, which means we cannot use a dummy username and then switch. There are two ways around this. The first is to use a different connection, which an earlier commit implements, but this increases how long it takes to get set up, and without knowing the right username, we cannot guarantee that the list we get in response is the right one. The second is what's implemented here: if there is no username specified in the url, ask for it first. We can then ask for the list of auth methods and use the user's credentials in the same connection.
