Edward Thomson f0e693b1 2021-09-07T17:53:49 str: introduce `git_str` for internal, `git_buf` is external libgit2 has two distinct requirements that were previously solved by `git_buf`. We require: 1. A general purpose string class that provides a number of utility APIs for manipulating data (eg, concatenating, truncating, etc). 2. A structure that we can use to return strings to callers that they can take ownership of. By using a single class (`git_buf`) for both of these purposes, we have confused the API to the point that refactorings are difficult and reasoning about correctness is also difficult. Move the utility class `git_buf` to be called `git_str`: this represents its general purpose, as an internal string buffer class. The name also is an homage to Junio Hamano ("gitstr"). The public API remains `git_buf`, and has a much smaller footprint. It is generally only used as an "out" param with strict requirements that follow the documentation. (Exceptions exist for some legacy APIs to avoid breaking callers unnecessarily.) Utility functions exist to convert a user-specified `git_buf` to a `git_str` so that we can call internal functions, then converting it back again.

Edward Thomson b9c5b15a 2019-12-22T14:12:24 http: use the new httpclient Untangle the notion of the http transport from the actual http implementation. The http transport now uses the httpclient.
Edward Thomson 7372573b 2019-10-25T12:22:10 httpclient: support expect/continue Allow users to opt-in to expect/continue handling when sending a POST and we're authenticated with a "connection-based" authentication mechanism like NTLM or Negotiate. If the response is a 100, return to the caller (to allow them to post their body). If the response is *not* a 100, buffer the response for the caller. HTTP expect/continue is generally safe, but some legacy servers have not implemented it correctly. Require it to be opt-in.
Edward Thomson 956ba48b 2019-03-14T10:36:40 http: increase the replay count Increase the permissible replay count; with multiple-step authentication schemes (NTLM, Negotiate), proxy authentication and redirects, we need to be mindful of the number of steps it takes to get connected. 7 seems high but can be exhausted quickly with just a single authentication failure over a redirected multi-state authentication pipeline.
Edward Thomson 6af8572c 2018-10-22T11:29:01 http transport: cap number of authentication replays Put a limit on the number of authentication replays in the HTTP transport. Standardize on 7 replays for authentication or redirects, which matches the behavior of the WinHTTP transport.
Edward Thomson ee6be190 2018-01-31T08:36:19 http: standardize user-agent addition The winhttp and posix http each need to add the user-agent to their requests. Standardize on a single function to include this so that we do not get the version numbers we're sending out of sync. Assemble the complete user agent in `git_http__user_agent`, returning assembled strings. Co-authored-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
