Second of a series of cleanups to libfetch. This commit introduces the following features: a) the fetchStat*() functions, which return meta-information for a document, such as size, modification time, etc. b) the use of the com_err(3) facilities to report errors. It also fixes a bunch of style bugs and a few logic bugs and somewhat improves the man page. Changed files, in alphabetical order: Makefile: Don't generate macros in {ftp,http}err.c. Generate category fields for the error message lists. Compile the error table. Install fetch_err.h along with fetch.h. common.c: Remove the _netdb_errstring() macro, and add FETCH_ERR_NETDB to the error code in the _netdb_seterr() macro. Add categories to the _netdb_errlist table. Report errors through the Common Error library. common.h: Add the DEBUG macros. Add prototype for fetchConnect(). Remove the prototype for _fetch_errstring(), which is local to common.c Add a categroy field to struct fetcherr, and define constants for error categories. Define macros for _{url,netdb,ftp,http}_seterr(). errors.et: (new file) List error categories. fetch.3: Document the fetchStat*() functions. Move the "unimplemented functionality" comments from NOTES to BUGS. Document that applications which use libfetch must also use libcom_err, and list existing error codes. Undocument fetchLastErr{Code,String}. Remove the (empty) DIAGNOSTICS section. Mention Eugene Skepner in the AUTHORS section. fetch.c: Move the DEBUG macros to common.c Add fetchStat() and fetchStatURL(). Generate error messages for URL parser errors, and fix a minor bug in the parser. Use 'struct url' instead of 'url_t'. Remove fetchLastErr{Code,String}. fetch.h: Use 'struct url' instead of 'url_t', and remove the typedef. Define struct url_stat (used by fetchStat()). Add prototypes for fetchStat*(). Remove the declarations for fetchLastErr{Code,String}. Include fetch_err.h. fetch_err.et: (new file) Error table for libfetch. file.c: Add fetchStatFile(). Use 'struct url' instead of 'url_t'. ftp.c: Add fetchStatFTP(). Use 'struct url' instead of 'url_t'. Don't use fetchLastErrCode. ftp.errors: Add categories to all error messages. http.c: Add fetchStatHTTP(). Use 'struct url' instead of 'url_t'.

This commit introduces the following features: a) the fetchStat*() functions, which return meta-information for a document, such as size, modification time, etc. b) the use of the com_err(3) facilities to report errors. It also fixes a bunch of style bugs and a few logic bugs and somewhat improves the man page. Changed files, in alphabetical order: Makefile: Don't generate macros in {ftp,http}err.c. Generate category fields for the error message lists. Compile the error table. Install fetch_err.h along with fetch.h. common.c: Remove the _netdb_errstring() macro, and add FETCH_ERR_NETDB to the error code in the _netdb_seterr() macro. Add categories to the _netdb_errlist table. Report errors through the Common Error library. common.h: Add the DEBUG macros. Add prototype for fetchConnect(). Remove the prototype for _fetch_errstring(), which is local to common.c Add a categroy field to struct fetcherr, and define constants for error categories. Define macros for _{url,netdb,ftp,http}_seterr(). errors.et: (new file) List error categories. fetch.3: Document the fetchStat*() functions. Move the "unimplemented functionality" comments from NOTES to BUGS. Document that applications which use libfetch must also use libcom_err, and list existing error codes. Undocument fetchLastErr{Code,String}. Remove the (empty) DIAGNOSTICS section. Mention Eugene Skepner in the AUTHORS section. fetch.c: Move the DEBUG macros to common.c Add fetchStat() and fetchStatURL(). Generate error messages for URL parser errors, and fix a minor bug in the parser. Use 'struct url' instead of 'url_t'. Remove fetchLastErr{Code,String}. fetch.h: Use 'struct url' instead of 'url_t', and remove the typedef. Define struct url_stat (used by fetchStat()). Add prototypes for fetchStat*().

.Fn fetchGetURL
and
.Fn fetchPutURL
constitute the recommended interface to the
.Nm fetch
library. They examine the URL passed to them to determine the transfer
method, and call the appropriate lower-level functions to perform the
actual transfer. The
.Fa flags
argument is a string of characters which specify transfer options. The
meaning of the individual flags is scheme-dependent, and is detailed
in the appropriate section below.

although the implementation details of the individual access methods
vary, it can generally be assumed that a stream returned by one of the
.Fn fetchGetXXX
functions is read-only, and that a stream returned by one of the
.Fn fetchPutXXX
functions is write-only.
.Sh FILE SCHEME
.Fn fetchGetFile
and
.Fn fetchPutFile
provide access to documents which are files in a locally mounted file
system. Only the <document> component of the URL is used.
.Pp
.Fn fetchGetFile
does not accept any flags.
.Pp
.Fn fetchPutFile
accepts the
.Fa a
(append to file) flag. If that flag is specified, the data written to
the stream returned by
.Fn fetchPutFile
will be appended to the previous contents of the file, instead of
replacing them.
.Sh FTP SCHEME
.Fn fetchGetFTP
and
.Fn fetchPutFTP
implement the FTP protocol as described in RFC959.
.Pp
If the
.Fa p
(passive) flag is specified, a passive (rather than active) connection
will be attempted.
.Pp
If no user name or password is given, the
.Nm fetch
library will attempt an anonymous login, with user name "ftp" and
password "ftp".
.Sh HTTP SCHEME
The
.Fn fetchGetHTTP
and
.Fn fetchPutHTTP
functions implement the HTTP/1.1 protocol. With a little luck, there's
even a chance that they comply with RFC2068.

Since there seems to be no good way of implementing the HTTP PUT
method in a manner consistent with the rest of the

library,
.Fn fetchPutHTTP
is currently unimplemented.

Second of a series of cleanups to libfetch. This commit introduces the following features: a) the fetchStat*() functions, which return meta-information for a document, such as size, modification time, etc. b) the use of the com_err(3) facilities to report errors. It also fixes a bunch of style bugs and a few logic bugs and somewhat improves the man page. Changed files, in alphabetical order: Makefile: Don't generate macros in {ftp,http}err.c. Generate category fields for the error message lists. Compile the error table. Install fetch_err.h along with fetch.h. common.c: Remove the _netdb_errstring() macro, and add FETCH_ERR_NETDB to the error code in the _netdb_seterr() macro. Add categories to the _netdb_errlist table. Report errors through the Common Error library. common.h: Add the DEBUG macros. Add prototype for fetchConnect(). Remove the prototype for _fetch_errstring(), which is local to common.c Add a categroy field to struct fetcherr, and define constants for error categories. Define macros for _{url,netdb,ftp,http}_seterr(). errors.et: (new file) List error categories. fetch.3: Document the fetchStat*() functions. Move the "unimplemented functionality" comments from NOTES to BUGS. Document that applications which use libfetch must also use libcom_err, and list existing error codes. Undocument fetchLastErr{Code,String}. Remove the (empty) DIAGNOSTICS section. Mention Eugene Skepner in the AUTHORS section. fetch.c: Move the DEBUG macros to common.c Add fetchStat() and fetchStatURL(). Generate error messages for URL parser errors, and fix a minor bug in the parser. Use 'struct url' instead of 'url_t'. Remove fetchLastErr{Code,String}. fetch.h: Use 'struct url' instead of 'url_t', and remove the typedef. Define struct url_stat (used by fetchStat()). Add prototypes for fetchStat*(). Remove the declarations for fetchLastErr{Code,String}. Include fetch_err.h. fetch_err.et: (new file) Error table for libfetch. file.c: Add fetchStatFile(). Use 'struct url' instead of 'url_t'. ftp.c: Add fetchStatFTP(). Use 'struct url' instead of 'url_t'. Don't use fetchLastErrCode. ftp.errors: Add categories to all error messages. http.c: Add fetchStatHTTP(). Use 'struct url' instead of 'url_t'.

The
.Nm fetch
library uses the Common Error library, and applications which link
with
.Nm libfetch
must therefore also link with
.Nm libcom_err .
Imported libfetch into the tree. It compiles, but there's still some work to do. I especially need help with the man page.

and FTP proxy support.

1998-09-26 20:42:44 +00:00
There's no way to select a proxy at run-time other than setting the
.Ev HTTP_PROXY
or
.Ev FTP_PROXY
environment variables as appropriate. There is also no way to stop the
FTP and HTTP functions from trying to use a proxy if these variables
are set.
.Pp
HTTP authentication doesn't work. I'm not sure that's a bug in my
code; as far as I can determine,
.Nm libfetch
handles HTTP/1.1 basic authentication correctly as outlined in
RFC2068, but I haven't been able to find an HTTP server that honors
First of a series of cleanups to libfetch. Changed files, in alphabetical order: Makefile: Add common.c to SRCS. Make debugging easier by making 'CFLAGS += -DNDEBUG' conditional on DEBUG Don't declare struct {ftp,http}err in {ftp,http}err.c; use struct fetcherr instead. README: Remove the todo list, which is out of date anyway. common.c: (new file) Gather utility functions in this file. Merge the error reporting functions intp _fetch_errstring(), _fetch_seterr() and _fetch_syserr(). Set fetchLastErrCode and fetchLastErrText appropriately when fetchConnect fails. common.h: (new file) Gather internal prototypes and structures in this files. fetch.3: Undocument fetchFreeURL(). Document a few more known bugs. Document fetchLastErrCode and fetchLastErrText. fetch.c: Add descriptive comments to all functions that lacked them. Move fetchConnect() to common.c. Obviate the need for fetchFreeURL(), and remove it. fetch.h: Modify struct url_t so the document part is at the end. ftp.c: Remove code that is duplicated elsewhere. http.c: Remove code that is duplicated elsewhere.

the Authentication: header field. Also,
.Nm libfetch
does not attempt to interpret and respond to authentication requests
from the HTTP server.
.Pp
No attempt is made to encode spaces etc. within URLs. Spaces in the
document part of an URLshould be replaced with "%20" in HTTP URLs and
"\\ " in FTP URLs.
.Pp
Error numbers are unique only within a certain context; the error
codes used for FTP and HTTP overlap, as do those used for resolver and
system errors. For instance, error code 202 means "Command not
implemented, superfluous at this site" in an FTP context and
"Accepted" in an HTTP context.

The man page is poorly written and produces badly formatted text.
