I get confused about whether a given argument or return value is a uri-as-string or uri-as-object. This patch adds a lot of assertions that it is one or the other, and also changes CheckerResults to take objects not strings.
In the future, I hope that we generally use Python objects except when importing into or exporting from the Python interpreter e.g. over the wire, the UI, or a stored file.
to make the internal ones use binary strings (nodeid, storage index) and
the web/JSON ones use base32-encoded strings. The immutable verifier is
still incomplete (it returns imaginary healty results).
Removed the Checker service, removed checker results storage (both in-memory
and the tiny stub of sqlite-based storage). Added ICheckable, all
check/verify is now done by calling the check() method on filenodes and
dirnodes (immutable files, literal files, mutable files, and directory
instances).
Checker results are returned in a Results instance, with an html() method for
display. Checker results have been temporarily removed from the wui directory
listing until we make some other fixes.
Also fixed client.create_node_from_uri() to create LiteralFileNodes properly,
since they have different checking behavior. Previously we were creating full
FileNodes with LIT uris inside, which were downloadable but not checkable.
