lukem 4c7551e4f0 don't display negative ETA upon SIGINFO because filesize isn't known 1997-02-01 11:26:34 +00:00
lukem 3a50014d60 [Yet Another Huge Ftp Commit - hopefully the last for a while,
barring any more little things people want added ...]

New features:
* progressmeter is now asynchronous, so "stalled" transfers can be
  detected. "- stalled -" is displayed instead of the ETA in this case.
  When the xfer resumes, the time that the xfer was stalled for is
  factored out of the ETA. It is debatable whether this is better than
  not factoring it out, but I like it this way (I.e, if it stalls for 8
  seconds and the ETA was 30 seconds, when it resumes the ETA will still
  be 30 seconds).
* verbosity can be disabled on the command line (-V), so that in auto-fetch
  mode the only lines displayed will be a description of the file, and
  the progress bar (if possible)
* if the screen is resized (and detected via the SIGWINCH signal), the
  progress bar will rescale automatically.

Bugs fixed:
* progress bar will not use the last character on the line, as this can
  cause problems on some terminals
* screen dimensions (via ioctl(TIOCWINSZ)) should use stdout not stdin
* progressmeter() used some vars before initialising them
* ^D will quit now. [fixes bin/3162]
* use hstrerror() to generate error message for host name lookup failure.
* use getcwd instead of getwd (it should have been OK, but why tempt fate?)
* auto-fetch transfers will always return a positive exit value upon failure
  or interruption, relative to the file's position in argv[].
* remote completion of / will work, without putting a leading "///".
  This is actually a bug in ftpd(1), where "NLST /" prefixes all names
  with "//", but fixing every ftpd(1) is not an option...

lukem 7a7fa80740 New features:
* Command line editing via editline(3) library.
* Context sensitive command and file completion, including remote files.

Enhancements to auto-fetch feature:
* Support for http:// URLs using the http protocol, including proxy HTTP
  support via $htty_proxy if it's defined.
* The connection is kept open between successive files on the same host.
  (obviously, this does not count for http requests.)
* Return value of ftp is 0 on no error, or the offset in argv[] of the file
  which failed (i.e., argv[x] failed, ftp returns x).
* If the path in an ftp URL or classic format line has a trailing '/',
  cd to the path and enter interactive mode. Fixes [bin/3011], albiet
  requiring the user to help ftp in determining the operation.

Other changes:
* '-P port' works for normal ftp, and is the default for all classic style
  auto-fetch transfers and for ftp URLs that don't specify the port.
  (previously it would just work for the first xfer.)
* Some code moved into separated files along logical divisions.
* Editing and completion can be compiled out with -DSMALLFTP.
