This is an attempt to amelioriate the situation found in #2384 where
we see the cURL connect() failing to complete. Based on the pcap
from the bug log, we believe that RISC OS is likely failing to signal
the completion of the connection to cURL. As such, cURL times out.
This change permits retries of timed out connections in the hope that
a fresh socket FD might subsequently function correctly. The defaults
chosen mean that the previous behaviour of 30 seconds before timeout
is reported will remain the same, but in that time we will make 3 separate
attempts to connect the socket.
This changes the LOG macro to be varadic removing the need for all
callsites to have double bracketing and allows for future improvement
on how we use the logging macros.
The callsites were changed with coccinelle and the changes checked by
hand. Compile tested for several frontends but not all.
A formatting annotation has also been added which allows the compiler
to check the parameters and types passed to the logging.
This splits up a great deal of the win32 window code out from other
gui code. It also remove large quantities of unused and junk
variables and functions.
By using an error code return we can gracefully handle fetcher
registration faliures instead of just immediately aborting.
The curl handler was also cleaned up and documentation improved
as a side effect.
The netsurf.h header should *only* contain the registration, core
initialisation and finalisation methods. Version information is best
placed in its own header.
Also remove any unneeded inclusion of this header limiting it to
solely the places the relevant API is required.
This rationalises the path construction and basename file
operations. The default implementation is POSIX which works for all
frontends except windows, riscos and amiga which have differeing path
separators and rules.
These implementations are significantly more robust than the previous
nine implementations and also do not use unsafe strncpy or buffers
with arbitrary length limits.
These implementations also carry full documentation comments.
