For the past couple weeks, I have been experimenting with replacing all the loader's URL fetching code with libcurl. It's going fairly well, so I'd like to offer this preview of the patches: http://clumens.fedorapeople.org/curl/ There's a lot of them which is why I've linked for now instead of sending a big mailing list thread. The key functional changes from our existing code are: - Proxies are now supported via the UI, command line, and kickstart. The format is proxy=[user[:password]@]host[:port] in the latter two. - urlinst{Start,Stop}Transfer have been replaced with urlinstTransfer, which simply copies the file to a given location and does a progress bar. - There's a new static headers function that generates a list of additional HTTP headers to support kssendmac and kssendsn. - There is no more iurlinfo structure. We now represent the URL as just a string. - libcurl supports HTTPS, so change all our tests that look for "http://";. Things I still need to do: - Cache the list of HTTP headers since it's unlikely to change. - Test stage2. KVM has not been cooperating lately. - Clean up memory management around the method selection. Any questions? I'd like to merge this in right after we branch for F12 so it can get some good testing. - Chris _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
