Edward Thomson 502e5d51 2020-03-01T12:44:39 httpclient: use a 16kb read buffer for macOS Use a 16kb read buffer for compatibility with macOS SecureTransport. SecureTransport `SSLRead` has the following behavior: 1. It will return _at most_ one TLS packet's worth of data, and 2. It will try to give you as much data as you asked for This means that if you call `SSLRead` with a buffer size that is smaller than what _it_ reads (in other words, the maximum size of a TLS packet), then it will buffer that data for subsequent calls. However, it will also attempt to give you as much data as you requested in your SSLRead call. This means that it will guarantee a network read in the event that it has buffered data. Consider our 8kb buffer and a server sending us 12kb of data on an HTTP Keep-Alive session. Our first `SSLRead` will read the TLS packet off the network. It will return us the 8kb that we requested and buffer the remaining 4kb. Our second `SSLRead` call will see the 4kb that's buffered and decide that it could give us an additional 4kb. So it will do a network read. But there's nothing left to read; that was the end of the data. The HTTP server is waiting for us to provide a new request. The server will eventually time out, our `read` system call will return, `SSLRead` can return back to us and we can make progress. While technically correct, this is wildly ineffecient. (Thanks, Tim Apple!) Moving us to use an internal buffer that is the maximum size of a TLS packet (16kb) ensures that `SSLRead` will never buffer and it will always return everything that it read (albeit decrypted).
Edward Thomson 3f54ba8b 2020-01-18T13:51:40 credential: change git_cred to git_credential We avoid abbreviations where possible; rename git_cred to git_credential. In addition, we have standardized on a trailing `_t` for enum types, instead of using "type" in the name. So `git_credtype_t` has become `git_credential_t` and its members have become `GIT_CREDENTIAL` instead of `GIT_CREDTYPE`. Finally, the source and header files have been renamed to `credential` instead of `cred`. Keep previous name and values as deprecated, and include the new header files from the previous ones.

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 6c21c989 2019-12-14T21:32:07 httpclient: support CONNECT proxies Fully support HTTP proxies, in particular CONNECT proxies, that allow us to speak TLS through a proxy.
Edward Thomson 6b208836 2019-12-18T21:55:28 httpclient: handle chunked responses Detect responses that are sent with Transfer-Encoding: chunked, and record that information so that we can consume the entire message body.
Edward Thomson 6a095679 2019-12-14T10:34:36 httpclient: support authentication Store the last-seen credential challenges (eg, all the 'WWW-Authenticate' headers in a response message). Given some credentials, find the best (first) challenge whose mechanism supports these credentials. (eg, 'Basic' supports username/password credentials, 'Negotiate' supports default credentials). Set up an authentication context for this mechanism and these credentials. Continue exchanging challenge/responses until we're authenticated.
Edward Thomson 1152f361 2019-12-13T18:37:19 httpclient: consume final chunk message When sending a new request, ensure that we got the entirety of the response body. Our caller may have decided that they were done reading. If we were not at the end of the message, this means that we need to tear down the connection and cannot do keep-alive. However, if the caller read all of the message, but we still have a final end-of-response chunk signifier (ie, "0\r\n\r\n") on the socket, then we should consider that the response was successfully copmleted. If we're asked to send a new request, try to read from the socket, just to clear out that end-of-chunk message, marking ourselves as disconnected on any errors.

Edward Thomson eacecebd 2019-12-12T13:25:32 httpclient: introduce a simple http implementation Introduce a new http client implementation that can GET and POST to remote URLs. Consumers can use `git_http_client_init` to create a new client, `git_http_client_send_request` to send a request to the remote server and `git_http_client_read_response` to read the response. The http client implementation will perform the I/O with the remote server (http or https) but does not understand the git smart transfer protocol. This allows us to split the concerns of the http subtransport from the actual http implementation.
