This deprecates OFHTTPRequestMethodName(), which returns a C string.
APIs should avoid C strings as much as possible.

This function was initially only used internally, where this was fine.
However, when it was made public, it should have been converted to
OFString at the same time.

Adds OFHTTPRequestMethodParseString() for consistency, which behaves the
same as OFHTTPRequestMethodParseName() and deprecates it. file: [7d8bd2c275] check-in: [12c09ef41e] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6466 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

The internal hash is still 32 bit in most places, but this way, it is at
least not baked into the API and ABI and can be upgraded later, should
that ever be necessary. file: [5fbba85cad] check-in: [aeb403a1ed] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6484 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This solves the old signed vs. unsigned problem and allows for more
bases than just 8, 10 and 16, as well as auto-detection of the base (if
base is 0). file: [a65b94e9ae] check-in: [b6ee372b98] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6168 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Instead of containing a struct sockaddr_storage - which does not exist
on all supported platforms - it now contains a union of all struct
sockaddr_* types.

Additionally, if struct sockaddr_in6 does not exist, it is defined so
that an IPv6 can be stored even if the system does not support IPv6. file: [f2c9b5d838] check-in: [8f810ecb7e] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6168 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Instead, explicitly declare them, as OF_ASSUME_NONNULL_{BEGIN,END} does
not apply to implicit return types. This means that after this commit,
all init methods have a nonnull return type, as they should have. file: [33eb5fdd58] check-in: [2f4e0df8be] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6675 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

These can just live in the headers. file: [41b78f73e9] check-in: [fedbbb2344] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6687 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Casts are now written like types in variable declarations. file: [c7f95080da] check-in: [4af49a13c3] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6728 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Forgot to add 2017, even though I already did quite some changes in
2017. file: [2083545dd2] check-in: [44f45c2e35] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6720 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

While at it, also update the mail address. file: [4edf404fac] check-in: [cec0f072f8] user: js, branch: 0.8, size: 7233 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This increases the required GCC version from 4.0 to 4.6 (exception:
Apple GCC, which already supports this with >= 4.0 starting with OS X
10.5). Since even GCC 4.6 is really old by now, there is no point in
still supporting something even older and making the code ugly because
of that. While some hardware and OS support was dropped from GCC 4.6
compared to GCC 4.0, there is nothing in there that would be an
interesting target with the exception of BeOS maybe - but a port to BeOS
can also be achieved using the Haiku support. The other dropped OSes are
mostly old versions of OSes while newer ones are still being supported
(and those newer versions of those OSes still support the same
hardware). file: [7383d317b4] check-in: [48980f2297] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6671 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This means that OFObject.h imports macros.h now, making it unnecessary
to manually import macros.h in almost every file. And while at it, also
import autorelease.h in OFObject.h, so that this doesn't need to be
manually imported in almost every file as well. file: [fa66100730] check-in: [13ee56edf3] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6776 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

No functional change intended. file: [7522c047c2] check-in: [9da9b2b64c] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6820 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This mostly removes the argument for the class in which the exception
occurred. As backtraces were recently added for all platforms, the
passed class does not give any extra information on where the exception
occurred anymore.

This also removes a few other arguments which were not too helpful. In
the past, the idea was to pass as many arguments as possible so that it
is easier to find the origin of the exception. However, as backtraces
are a much better way to find the origin, those are not useful anymore
and just make the exception more cumbersome to use. The rule is now to
only pass arguments that might help in recovering from the exception or
provide information that is otherwise not easily accessible. file: [a21b81861e] check-in: [3d16a30f41] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 4743 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

The only places where BOOL is left are those where they are required by
the ABI. file: [24712e6afd] check-in: [c5ef582958] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 4821 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This also implements chunked transfer encoding for OFHTTPServer and adds
a property for the protocol version to OFHTTPRequest(Reply).

Additionally, this makes it possible to add an async version of
OFHTTPClient. file: [69b973a377] check-in: [bdf9c4d96b] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 4804 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

The class also has its own file now. file: [78847a2802] check-in: [75f187cef5] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 3233 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This should not be part of the headers dictionary as it would allow the
user to remove it, but the implementation requires it. file: [4435d73c99] check-in: [294346482d] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 12839 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

The result was released before it was passed to the exception. file: [cb00731d28] check-in: [7a8056d3ed] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 12820 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This greatly improves performance, as it gets rid of the overhead of
OFAutoreleasePool. file: [c7bd138f6a] check-in: [1255f3a11a] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 12782 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Also adds more checks. file: [456aec5d03] check-in: [d5ddb2cb48] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 12261 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This is safe as an "exception loop" can't happen, since if allocating
an exception fails, it throws an OFAllocFailedException which is
preallocated and can always be thrown.

So, the worst case would be that an autorelease of an exception fails,
triggering an OFOutOfMemoryException for which there is no memory,
resulting in an OFAllocFailedException to be thrown. file: [66f489833f] check-in: [e1e7ffa903] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 10086 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This way, it's possible to do downloads without keeping the whole file
in memory. file: [0e781dce42] check-in: [1cc6f3659f] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 9433 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This way, OFHTTPRequest will support HTTPS using a third party TLS
library. file: [5c79012c43] check-in: [c64d88f50f] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6401 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]
