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*().

.Sh DESCRIPTION
These functions implement a high-level library for retrieving and
uploading files using Uniform Resource Locators (URLs).
.Pp
.Fn fetchParseURL
takes a URL in the form of a null-terminated string and splits it into
its components function according to the Common Internet Scheme Syntax
detailed in RFC1738.
A regular expression which produces this syntax is:
.Bd -literal
<scheme>:(//(<user>(:<pwd>)?@)?<host>(:<port>)?)?/(<document>)?
.Ed
.Pp
If the URL does not seem to begin with a scheme name, the following
syntax is assumed:
.Bd -literal
((<user>(:<pwd>)?@)?<host>(:<port>)?)?/(<document>)?
.Ed
.Pp
Note that some components of the URL are not necessarily relevant to
all URL schemes.
For instance, the file scheme only needs the <scheme> and <document>
components.

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().

connection will be attempted.
.Pp
The
2001-07-05 11:24:26 +00:00
.Ql p
flag is supported for compatibility with earlier versions where active
connections were the default.
It has precedence over the
.Ql P
flag, so if both are specified,
.Nm
will use a passive connection.
.Pp
If the
2001-07-05 11:24:26 +00:00
.Ql l
(low) flag is specified, data sockets will be allocated in the low (or
2002-11-08 19:10:05 +00:00
default) port range instead of the high port range (see
2001-01-16 09:08:22 +00:00
.Xr ip 4 ) .
.Pp
If the
2001-07-05 11:24:26 +00:00
.Ql d
(direct) flag is specified,
.Fn fetchXGetFTP ,
.Fn fetchGetFTP
and
.Fn fetchPutFTP
will use a direct connection even if a proxy server is defined.
.Pp
If no user name or password is given, the
.Nm fetch
library will attempt an anonymous login, with user name "anonymous"
and password "anonymous@<hostname>".
.Sh HTTP SCHEME
The
.Fn fetchXGetHTTP ,
.Fn fetchGetHTTP
and
.Fn fetchPutHTTP
functions implement the HTTP/1.1 protocol.
2005-02-13 23:45:54 +00:00
With a little luck, there is
even a chance that they comply with RFC2616 and RFC2617.
.Pp
If the
2001-07-05 11:24:26 +00:00
.Ql d
(direct) flag is specified,
.Fn fetchXGetHTTP ,
.Fn fetchGetHTTP
and
.Fn fetchPutHTTP
will use a direct connection even if a proxy server is defined.
.Pp
If the
.Ql i
(if-modified-since) flag is specified, and
the
.Va ims_time
field is set in
.Vt "struct url" ,
then
.Fn fetchXGetHTTP
and
.Fn fetchGetHTTP
will send a conditional
.Li If-Modified-Since
HTTP header to only fetch the content if it is newer than
.Va ims_time .
.Pp
Since there seems to be no good way of implementing the HTTP PUT
method in a manner consistent with the rest of the
.Nm fetch
library,
.Fn fetchPutHTTP
is currently unimplemented.
.Sh AUTHENTICATION
Apart from setting the appropriate environment variables and
specifying the user name and password in the URL or the
2001-07-05 11:24:26 +00:00
.Vt struct url ,
the calling program has the option of defining an authentication
function with the following prototype:
.Pp
.Ft int
.Fn myAuthMethod "struct url *u"
.Pp
The callback function should fill in the
.Fa user
and
.Fa pwd
fields in the provided
2001-07-05 11:24:26 +00:00
.Vt struct url
and return 0 on success, or any other value to indicate failure.
.Pp
To register the authentication callback, simply set
2001-07-05 11:24:26 +00:00
.Va fetchAuthMethod
to point at it.
The callback will be used whenever a site requires authentication and
2005-02-13 22:25:33 +00:00
the appropriate environment variables are not set.
.Pp
This interface is experimental and may be subject to change.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn fetchParseURL
returns a pointer to a
2001-07-05 11:24:26 +00:00
.Vt struct url
containing the individual components of the URL.
If it is
unable to allocate memory, or the URL is syntactically incorrect,
.Fn fetchParseURL
returns a NULL pointer.

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.

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.

2000-07-21 10:57:15 +00:00
format as the
.Ev HTTP_AUTH
variable.
.Pp
This variable is used if and only if connected to an HTTP proxy, and
is ignored if a user and/or a password were specified in the proxy
URL.
.It Ev HTTP_REFERER
2002-12-27 12:15:40 +00:00
Specifies the referrer URL to use for HTTP requests.
If set to
.Dq auto ,
2002-12-27 12:15:40 +00:00
the document URL will be used as referrer URL.
.It Ev HTTP_USER_AGENT
Specifies the User-Agent string to use for HTTP requests.
This can be useful when working with HTTP origin or proxy servers that
2001-07-05 11:24:26 +00:00
differentiate between user agents.
2003-01-22 18:27:25 +00:00
.It Ev NETRC
Specifies a file to use instead of
.Pa ~/.netrc
to look up login names and passwords for FTP sites.
See
.Xr ftp 1
for a description of the file format.
This feature is experimental.
.It Ev NO_PROXY
Either a single asterisk, which disables the use of proxies
altogether, or a comma- or whitespace-separated list of hosts for
which proxies should not be used.
.It Ev no_proxy
Same as
.Ev NO_PROXY ,
for compatibility.
.El
.Sh EXAMPLES
To access a proxy server on
.Pa proxy.example.com
port 8080, set the
.Ev HTTP_PROXY
environment variable in a manner similar to this:
.Pp
.Dl HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.example.com:8080
.Pp
If the proxy server requires authentication, there are
two options available for passing the authentication data.
The first method is by using the proxy URL:
.Pp
.Dl HTTP_PROXY=http://<user>:<pwd>@proxy.example.com:8080
.Pp
The second method is by using the
.Ev HTTP_PROXY_AUTH
environment variable:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.example.com:8080
HTTP_PROXY_AUTH=basic:*:<user>:<pwd>
.Ed
.Pp
To disable the use of a proxy for an HTTP server running on the local
host, define
.Ev NO_PROXY
as follows:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.1

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*().

There is no way to select a proxy at run-time other than setting the
.Ev HTTP_PROXY
or
.Ev FTP_PROXY
environment variables as appropriate.
.Pp
.Nm libfetch
does not understand or obey 305 (Use Proxy) replies.
.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.
.Pp
.Fn fetchStatFTP
does not check that the result of an MDTM command is a valid date.
.Pp
The man page is incomplete, poorly written and produces badly
formatted text.
.Pp
The error reporting mechanism is unsatisfactory.
.Pp
Some parts of the code are not fully reentrant.
