220a80611e Add support for HTTP/1.0 Persistent Connections to phttpget. Requests are
be marked as HTTP/1.1 but "Connection: Keep-Alive" is added; this convinces
HTTP/1.0 servers and proxies to hold the TCP connection open despite not
being able to use HTTP pipelining.

This dramatically cuts down on the number of TCP connections (and thus port
numbers) used by portsnap when talking to an HTTP/1.0 proxy (e.g., squid),
and has the side benefit of improving performance in those cases.

b39855baee Allow the HTTP_PROXY environment variable to be (mis)spelled as
"http_proxy", since some people apparently do this and fetch(3)
allows it.

  getaddrinfo lookup.

5c67112b9e Correctly handle a TCP connection being shutdown by the server while
we're reading response headers.  (Handle it as a connection-killing
error, rather than entering an infinite loop reading zero bytes.)

3ad7e67045 Replace INT_MAX with OFF_MAX. I used INT_MAX originally (in ports)
because OFF_MAX wasn't defined on FreeBSD 4.x.

f79293da85 When parsing the HTTP_PROXY environment variable, strip a trailing /
from the port number (if any exists).  This unbreaks
env HTTP_PROXY="http://localhost:3128/" portsnap fetch

While I'm here, list both the host and the port in the error message
output if getaddrinfo() fails, since either of them could be responsible
for the failure.

6fb01948ee Add portsnap to the base system. This is a secure, easy to use,
fast, lightweight, and generally good way for users to keep their
ports trees up to date.

This is version 0.9.4 from the ports tree (sysutils/portsnap) with
the following changes:
1. The experimental pipelined http code is enabled.  No seatbelts
in -CURRENT. (^_^)
2. The working directory has moved from /usr/local/portsnap to
/var/db/portsnap (as discussed on -arch two days ago).
3. Portsnap now fetches a list of mirrors (distributed as DNS SRV
records) and selects one randomly.  This should help to avoid the
uneven loading which plagues the cvsup mirror network.
4. The license is now 2-clause BSD instead of 3-clause BSD.
5. Various incidental changes to make portsnap fit into the base
system's build mechanics.
