From: Jiang Xin <zhiyou.jx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
For protocol-v2, "stateless-connection" can be used to establish a
stateless connection between the client and the server, but trying to
establish http connection by calling "transport->vtable->connect" will
fail. This restriction was first introduced in commit b236752a87
(Support remote archive from all smart transports, 2009-12-09) by
adding a limitation in the "connect_helper()" function.
Remove the restriction in the "connect_helper()" function and use the
logic in the "process_connect_service()" function to check the protocol
version and service name. By this way, we can make a connection and do
something useful. E.g., in a later commit, implements remote archive
for a repository over HTTP protocol.
