When an HTTP request returns a 401, Git will currently fail with a
confusing message saying that it got a 401, which is not very
descriptive.
Currently if a user wants to use Git over HTTP, they have to use one
URL with the username in the URL (e.g. "http://user@host.com/repo.git")
for write access and another without the username for unauthenticated
read access (unless they want to be prompted for the password each
time). However, since the HTTP servers will return a 401 if an action
requires authentication, we can prompt for username and password if we
see this, allowing us to use a single URL for both purposes.
This patch changes http_request to prompt for the username and password,
then return HTTP_REAUTH so http_get_strbuf can try again. If it gets
a 401 even when a user/pass is supplied, http_request will now return
HTTP_NOAUTH which remote_curl can then use to display a more
intelligent error message that is less confusing.

The git-remote-curl backend detects if the remote server supports
the git-receive-pack service, and if so, runs git-send-pack in a
pipe to dump the command and pack data as a single POST request.
The advertisements from the server that were obtained during the
discovery are passed into git-send-pack before the POST request
starts. This permits git-send-pack to operate largely unmodified.
For smaller packs (those under 1 MiB) a HTTP/1.0 POST with a
Content-Length is used, permitting interaction with any server.
The 1 MiB limit is arbitrary, but is sufficent to fit most deltas
created by human authors against text sources with the occasional
small binary file (e.g. few KiB icon image). The configuration
option http.postBuffer can be used to increase (or shink) this
buffer if the default is not sufficient.
For larger packs which cannot be spooled entirely into the helper's
memory space (due to http.postBuffer being too small), the POST
request requires HTTP/1.1 and sets "Transfer-Encoding: chunked".
This permits the client to upload an unknown amount of data in one
HTTP transaction without needing to pregenerate the entire pack
file locally.

The code handling the fetching of loose objects in http-push.c and
http-walker.c have been refactored into new methods and a new struct
(object_http_request) in http.c. They are not meant to be invoked
elsewhere.
The new methods in http.c are
- new_http_object_request
- process_http_object_request
- finish_http_object_request
- abort_http_object_request
- release_http_object_request
and the new struct is http_object_request.
RANGER_HEADER_SIZE and no_pragma_header is no longer made available
outside of http.c, since after the above changes, there are no other
instances of usage outside of http.c.
Remove members of the transfer_request struct in http-push.c and
http-walker.c, including filename, real_sha1 and zret, as they are used
no longer used.
Move the methods append_remote_object_url() and get_remote_object_url()
from http-push.c to http.c. Additionally, get_remote_object_url() is no
longer defined only when USE_CURL_MULTI is defined, since
non-USE_CURL_MULTI code in http.c uses it (namely, in
new_http_object_request()).
Refactor code from http-push.c::start_fetch_loose() and
http-walker.c::start_object_fetch_request() that deals with the details
of coming up with the filename to store the retrieved object, resuming
a previously aborted request, and making a new curl request, into a new
function, new_http_object_request().
Refactor code from http-walker.c::process_object_request() into the
function, process_http_object_request().
Refactor code from http-push.c::finish_request() and
http-walker.c::finish_object_request() into a new function,
finish_http_object_request(). It returns the result of the
move_temp_to_file() invocation.
Add a function, release_http_object_request(), which cleans up object
request data. http-push.c and http-walker.c invoke this function
separately; http-push.c::release_request() and
http-walker.c::release_object_request() do not invoke this function.
Add a function, abort_http_object_request(), which unlink()s the object
file and invokes release_http_object_request(). Update
http-walker.c::abort_object_request() to use this.

http-push.c and http-walker.c no longer have to use fetch_index or
setup_index; they simply need to use http_get_info_packs, a new http
method, in their fetch_indices implementations.
Move fetch_index() and rename to fetch_pack_index() in http.c; this
method is not meant to be used outside of http.c. It invokes
end_url_with_slash with base_url; apart from that change, the code is
identical.
Move setup_index() and rename to fetch_and_setup_pack_index() in
http.c; this method is not meant to be used outside of http.c.
Do not immediately set ret to 0 in http-walker.c::fetch_indices();
instead do it in the HTTP_MISSING_TARGET case, to make it clear that
the HTTP_OK and HTTP_MISSING_TARGET cases both return 0.

- http_get_strbuf()
- http_get_file()
- http_error()
http_get_strbuf and http_get_file allow respectively to retrieve contents of
an URL to a strbuf or an opened file handle.
http_error prints out an error message containing the URL and the curl error
(in curl_errorstr).

Move RANGE_HEADER_SIZE to http.h.
Create no_pragma_header, the curl header list containing the header
"Pragma:" in http.[ch]. It is allocated in http_init, and freed in
http_cleanup. This replaces the no_pragma_header in http-push.c, and
the no_pragma_header member in walker_data in http-walker.c.
Create http_is_verbose. It is to be used by methods in http.c, and is

(when parsing options) and http-walker.c (in get_http_walker).

When using multi-pass authentication methods, the curl library may
need to rewind the read buffers (depending on how much already has
been fed to the server) used for providing data to HTTP PUT, POST or
PROPFIND, and in order to allow the library to do so, we need to tell
it how by providing either an ioctl callback or a seek callback.
This patch adds an ioctl callback, which should be usable on older
curl versions (since 7.12.3) than the seek callback (introduced in
curl 7.18.0).
Some HTTP servers (such as Apache) give an 401 error reply immediately
after receiving the headers (so no data has been read from the read
buffers, and thus no rewinding is needed), but other servers (such
as Lighttpd) only replies after the whole request has been sent and
all data has been read from the read buffers, making rewinding necessary.

After master.k.org upgrade, I started seeing these warning messages:
transport.c: In function 'get_refs_via_curl':
transport.c:458: error: call to '_curl_easy_setopt_err_write_callback' declared with attribute warning: curl_easy_setopt expects a curl_write_callback argument for this option
It appears that the curl header wants to enforce the function signature
for callback function given to curl_easy_setopt() to be compatible with
that of (*curl_write_callback) or fwrite. This patch seems to work the
issue around.

This simplifies a few things, makes a few things slightly more
complicated, but, more importantly, allows that, when struct ref can
represent a symref, http_fetch_ref() can return one.
Incidentally makes the string that http_fetch_ref() gets include "refs/"
(if appropriate), because that's how the name field of struct ref works.
As far as I can tell, the usage in walker:interpret_target() wouldn't have
worked previously, if it ever would have been used, which it wouldn't
(since the fetch process uses the hash instead of the name of the ref
there).

In transport.c, proxy setting (the one from the remote conf) was set through
curl_easy_setopt() call, while http.c already does the same with the
http.proxy setting. We now just use this infrastructure instead, and make
http_init() now take the struct remote as argument so that it can take the
http_proxy setting from there, and any other property that would be added
later.
At the same time, we make get_http_walker() take a struct remote argument
too, and pass it to http_init(), which makes remote defined proxy be used
for more than get_refs_via_curl().
We leave out http-fetch and http-push, which don't use remotes for the
moment, purposefully.

curl_multi_remove_handle() is broken in libcurl < 7.16, in that it

returns a curl session handle which fails GOOD_MULTI_HANDLE()

Older curl releases do not define CURLE_HTTP_RETURNED_ERROR, they
use CURLE_HTTP_NOT_FOUND instead. Newer curl releases keep the
CURLE_HTTP_NOT_FOUND definition but using a -DCURL_NO_OLDIES
preprocessor flag the old name will not be present in the 'curl.h'

This patch makes our code written for newer releases of the curl
library but allow compiling against an older curl (older than

synonym for CURLE_HTTP_NOT_FOUND.
