deliver all shares at once instead of feeding them out one-at-a-time.
Also fix distribution of real-number-of-segments information: now all
CommonShares (not just the ones used for the first segment) get a
correctly-sized hashtree. Previously, the late ones might not, which would
make them crash and get dropped (causing the download to fail if the initial
set were insufficient, perhaps because one of their servers went away).
Update tests, add some TODO notes, improve variable names and comments.
Improve logging: add logparents, set more appropriate levels.
This avoids spamming the "recent uploads and downloads" /status page from
FileNode instances that were created for a directory read but which nobody is
ever going to read from. I also cleaned up the way DownloadStatus instances
are made to only ever do it in the CiphertextFileNode, not in the
higher-level plaintext FileNode. Also fixed DownloadStatus handling of read
size, thanks to David-Sarah for the catch.
in particular, merge the various 1.8.0b1/b2 sections, and remove the
datestamp. NEWS gets updated just before a release, doesn't need to precisely
describe pre-release candidates, and the datestamp gets updated just before
the final release is tagged
Also, I removed the BOM from some files. My toolchain made it hard to retain,
and BOMs in UTF-8 don't make a whole lot of sense anyway. Sorry if that
messes anything up.
seems to avoid the #1155 log message which reveals the URI (and filecap).
Also add an [ERROR] marker to the flog entry, since unregisterProducer also
makes interrupted downloads appear "200 OK"; this makes it more obvious that
the download did not complete.
The lost-progress bug occurred when two simultanous read() calls fetched
different segments, and the first one failed (due to corruption, or the other
bugs in #1154): the second read() would never complete. While in this state,
cancelling the second read by having its consumer call stopProducing) would
trigger the cancel-intolerance bug. Finally, in downloader.node.Cancel,
prevent late cancels by adding an 'active' flag
The Range header causes n.read() to be called with an offset= of type 'long',
which eventually got used in a Spans/DataSpans object's __len__ method.
Apparently python doesn't permit __len__() to return longs, only ints.
Rewrote Spans/DataSpans to use s.len() instead of len(s) aka s.__len__() .
Added a test in test_download. Note that test_web didn't catch this because
it uses mock FileNodes for speed: it's probably time to rewrite that.
There is still an unresolved error-recovery problem in #1154, so I'm not
closing the ticket quite yet.
The fixed 10-second timer will eventually be replaced with a per-server
value, calculated based on observed response times.
test_hung_server.py: enhance to exercise DYHB=OVERDUE state. Split existing
mutable+immutable tests into two pieces for clarity. Reenabled several tests.
Deleted the now-obsolete "test_failover_during_stage_4".
