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: [ff8f88f432] check-in: [12c09ef41e] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 5278 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

With TYPEDEF_HIDES_STRUCT set, Doxygen properly handles anonymous
structs and enums that are typedef'd. file: [e5c26eec6f] check-in: [2fcf5a3052] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 3941 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

__COUNTER__ does not exist in GCC 4.2, and Apple GCC 4.2 is still the
newest compiler available for macOS 10.5. file: [381b8b1e37] check-in: [ef614a225d] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 4195 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This allows ABI stability with the fragile ABI. file: [9466bbaa67] check-in: [496695d778] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 4097 [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: [7136743ab3] check-in: [8f810ecb7e] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 4247 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This improves Swift compatibility. file: [0bad35c687] check-in: [f3ccf14461] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 4817 [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: [c4033f68e4] check-in: [2f4e0df8be] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 5139 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

These can just live in the headers. file: [665d821683] check-in: [fedbbb2344] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 5112 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Casts are now written like types in variable declarations. file: [f3657b719a] check-in: [4af49a13c3] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 5396 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This changes retaining behavior, meaning properties are not returned
retained and autoreleased anymore, so a property returned from a getter
now needs to be manually retained and autoreleased before calling the
setter. However, this is rarely the case and not using atomic improves
performance. file: [116a255b13] check-in: [0a73af49f0] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 5384 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Forgot to add 2017, even though I already did quite some changes in
2017. file: [47ebc74e15] check-in: [44f45c2e35] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 5329 [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: [0d537b984c] check-in: [48980f2297] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 5116 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Now that Clang switched to use _Nullable and _Nonnull instead of
__nullable / __nonnull, there is no longer a conflict with glibc, which
means we can just define _Nullable / _Nonnull to nothing if they are not
understood by the compiler (which did not work with __nullable /
__nonnull due to this conflict).

This also defines _Null_unspecified to nothing if unavailable. file: [cc2cdac436] check-in: [d526d938d7] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6675 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This is necessary to make GCC (>= 4.6 and Apple GCC) happy as they don't
like the list of property attributes ending in a comma. file: [2b094f8687] check-in: [80e1a9655b] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6677 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Using __nonnull directly doesn't work on systems using glibc, as glibc
defines __nonnull as a parameterized define. While this does not fix the
problem of Clang introducing __nonnull even though it conflicts with
glibc, this at least means it's possible again to compile things with
versions of Clang that don't support __nonnull on systems with glibc. file: [a0120e2911] check-in: [b7097a67b6] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 6644 [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: [eeab32f289] check-in: [bdf9c4d96b] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 5008 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

The class also has its own file now. file: [c5b6d90b4d] check-in: [75f187cef5] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 3720 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This way, it's possible to do downloads without keeping the whole file
in memory. file: [cb8dc6b01c] check-in: [1cc6f3659f] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 7016 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This way, OFHTTPRequest will support HTTPS using a third party TLS
library. file: [9575ac8a9b] check-in: [c64d88f50f] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 3627 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]
