Implemented/modified PUT & POST to not used chunked encoding for the request.
Made the unit test much happier and probably a better thing for the pipeline.
Have a cheesy static & dynamic proxy capability using both local options and
a way to wire into LLProxy in llmessages. Not a clean thing but it will get
the proxy path working with both socks5 & http proxies. Refactoring to get
rid of unneeded library handler and unified an HttpStatus return for all
requests. Big batch of code removed as a result of that and more is possible
as well as some syscall avoidance with a bit more work. Boosted the unit
tests for simple PUT & POST test which revealed the test harness does *not*
like chunked encoding so we'll avoid it for now (and don't really need it
in any of our schemes).
Identified and reacted to the priority inversion problem we
have in texturefetch. Includes the introduction of a priority_queue
for the requests that are ready. Start some parameterization in
anticipation of having policy_class everywhere. Removed _assert.h
which isn't really needed in indra codebase. Implemented async
setPriority request (which I hope I can get rid of eventually along
with all priorities in this library). Converted to using unsigned
int for priority rather than float. Implemented POST and did
groundwork for PUT.
This is the first functional viewer pass with the HTTP work of the texture fetch
code performed by the llcorehttp library. Not exactly a 'drop-in' replacement
but a work-alike with some changes (e.g. handler notification in consumer
thread versus responder notification in worker thread).
This also includes some temporary changes in the priority scheme to prevent
the kind of priority inversion found in VWR-28996. Scheme used here does
provide liveness if not optimal responsiveness or order-of-operation.
The llcorehttp library at this point is far from optimally performing.
Its worker thread is making relatively poor use of cycles it gets and
it doesn't idle or sleep intelligently yet. This early integration step
helps shake out the interfaces, implementation niceties will be covered
soon.
