http: drop custom http client logic

Eight and a half years ago, as my starter bug on code.google.com, I
investigated a mysterious "broken pipe" error from seemingly random
clients[0]. That investigation revealed a tragic story: the Python
standard library's httplib was (and remains) barely functional. During
large POSTs, if a server responds early with an error (even a
permission denied error!) the client only notices that the server
closed the connection and everything breaks. Such server behavior is
implicitly legal under RFC 2616 (the latest HTTP RFC as of when I was
last working on this), and my understanding is that later RFCs have
made it explicitly legal to respond early with any status code outside
the 2xx range.

I embarked, probably foolishly, on a journey to write a new http
library with better overall behavior. The http library appears to work
well in most cases, but it can get confused in the presence of
proxies, and it depends on select(2) which limits its utility if a lot
of file descriptors are open. I haven't touched the http library in
almost two years, and in the interim the Python community has
discovered a better way[1] of writing network code. In theory some day
urllib3 will have its own home-grown http library built on h11[2], or
we could do that. Either way, it's time to declare our current
confusingly-named "http2" client logic and move on. I do hope to
revisit this some day: it's still garbage that we can't even respond
with a 401 or 403 without reading the entire POST body from the
client, but the goalposts on writing a new http client library have
moved substantially. We're almost certainly better off just switching
to requests and eventually picking up their http fixes than trying to
live with something that realistically only we'll ever use. Another
approach would be to write an adapter so that Mercurial can use pycurl
if it's installed. Neither of those approaches seem like they should
be investigated prior to a release of Mercurial that works on Python
3: that's where the mindshare is going to be for any improvements to
the state of the http client art.

#require chg

  $ cp $HGRCPATH $HGRCPATH.orig

  $ chg init foo
  $ cd foo

  $ chg status
  $ echo '=brokenconfig' >> $HGRCPATH

  $ sockpath=$TESTTMP/this/path/should/be/longer/than/one-hundred-and-seven/characters/where/107/is/the/typical/size/limit/of/unix-domain-socket
  $ mkdir -p $sockpath
  $ bakchgsockname=$CHGSOCKNAME
  $ CHGSOCKNAME=$sockpath/server
  $ export CHGSOCKNAME
  $ chg root
  $TESTTMP/foo
  $ rm -rf $sockpath
  $ CHGSOCKNAME=$bakchgsockname
  $ export CHGSOCKNAME

  $ cd ..

editor
------

  $ cat >> pushbuffer.py <<EOF
  > def reposetup(ui, repo):
  >     repo.ui.pushbuffer(subproc=True)
  > EOF

  $ chg init editor
  $ cd editor

by default, system() should be redirected to the client:

  $ touch foo
  $ CHGDEBUG= HGEDITOR=cat chg ci -Am channeled --edit 2>&1 \
  > | egrep "HG:|run 'cat"
  chg: debug: * run 'cat "*"' at '$TESTTMP/editor' (glob)
  HG: Enter commit message.  Lines beginning with 'HG:' are removed.
  HG: Leave message empty to abort commit.
  HG: --
  HG: user: test
  HG: branch 'default'
  HG: added foo

but no redirection should be made if output is captured:

  $ touch bar
  $ CHGDEBUG= HGEDITOR=cat chg ci -Am bufferred --edit \
  > --config extensions.pushbuffer="$TESTTMP/pushbuffer.py" 2>&1 \
  > | egrep "HG:|run 'cat"
  [1]

check that commit commands succeeded:

  $ hg log -T '{rev}:{desc}\n'
  1:bufferred
  0:channeled

  $ cd ..

pager
-----

  $ cat >> fakepager.py <<EOF
  > import sys
  > for line in sys.stdin:
  >     sys.stdout.write('paged! %r\n' % line)
  > EOF

enable pager extension globally, but spawns the master server with no tty:

  $ chg init pager
  $ cd pager
  $ cat >> $HGRCPATH <<EOF
  > [extensions]
  > pager =
  > [pager]
  > pager = $PYTHON $TESTTMP/fakepager.py
  > EOF
  $ chg version > /dev/null
  $ touch foo
  $ chg ci -qAm foo

pager should be enabled if the attached client has a tty:

  $ chg log -l1 -q --config ui.formatted=True
  paged! '0:1f7b0de80e11\n'
  $ chg log -l1 -q --config ui.formatted=False
  0:1f7b0de80e11

chg waits for pager if runcommand raises

  $ cat > $TESTTMP/crash.py <<EOF
  > from mercurial import registrar
  > cmdtable = {}
  > command = registrar.command(cmdtable)
  > @command(b'crash')
  > def pagercrash(ui, repo, *pats, **opts):
  >     ui.write('going to crash\n')
  >     raise Exception('.')
  > EOF

  $ cat > $TESTTMP/fakepager.py <<EOF
  > from __future__ import absolute_import
  > import sys
  > import time
  > for line in iter(sys.stdin.readline, ''):
  >     if 'crash' in line: # only interested in lines containing 'crash'
  >         # if chg exits when pager is sleeping (incorrectly), the output
  >         # will be captured by the next test case
  >         time.sleep(1)
  >         sys.stdout.write('crash-pager: %s' % line)
  > EOF

  $ cat >> .hg/hgrc <<EOF
  > [extensions]
  > crash = $TESTTMP/crash.py
  > EOF

  $ chg crash --pager=on --config ui.formatted=True 2>/dev/null
  crash-pager: going to crash

  $ cd ..

server lifecycle
----------------

chg server should be restarted on code change, and old server will shut down
automatically. In this test, we use the following time parameters:

 - "sleep 1" to make mtime different
 - "sleep 2" to notice mtime change (polling interval is 1 sec)

set up repository with an extension:

  $ chg init extreload
  $ cd extreload
  $ touch dummyext.py
  $ cat <<EOF >> .hg/hgrc
  > [extensions]
  > dummyext = dummyext.py
  > EOF

isolate socket directory for stable result:

  $ OLDCHGSOCKNAME=$CHGSOCKNAME
  $ mkdir chgsock
  $ CHGSOCKNAME=`pwd`/chgsock/server

warm up server:

  $ CHGDEBUG= chg log 2>&1 | egrep 'instruction|start'
  chg: debug: * start cmdserver at $TESTTMP/extreload/chgsock/server.* (glob)

new server should be started if extension modified:

  $ sleep 1
  $ touch dummyext.py
  $ CHGDEBUG= chg log 2>&1 | egrep 'instruction|start'
  chg: debug: * instruction: unlink $TESTTMP/extreload/chgsock/server-* (glob)
  chg: debug: * instruction: reconnect (glob)
  chg: debug: * start cmdserver at $TESTTMP/extreload/chgsock/server.* (glob)

old server will shut down, while new server should still be reachable:

  $ sleep 2
  $ CHGDEBUG= chg log 2>&1 | (egrep 'instruction|start' || true)

socket file should never be unlinked by old server:
(simulates unowned socket by updating mtime, which makes sure server exits
at polling cycle)

  $ ls chgsock/server-*
  chgsock/server-* (glob)
  $ touch chgsock/server-*
  $ sleep 2
  $ ls chgsock/server-*
  chgsock/server-* (glob)

since no server is reachable from socket file, new server should be started:
(this test makes sure that old server shut down automatically)

  $ CHGDEBUG= chg log 2>&1 | egrep 'instruction|start'
  chg: debug: * start cmdserver at $TESTTMP/extreload/chgsock/server.* (glob)

shut down servers and restore environment:

  $ rm -R chgsock
  $ CHGSOCKNAME=$OLDCHGSOCKNAME
  $ cd ..
