If the caller attempts to seek only a few bytes forward, chances are
good that the offset is already in the buffer. In this case, simply
fast-forward the buffer.
If someone calls seek() with an invalid (negative) offset, the curl
implementation of that method returned false, but left this invalid
offset in input_stream.offset. Move the calculation to a temporary
variable.
HTTP servers respond with "416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable" when a
client attempts to seek to the end of the file. Catch this special
case in input_curl_seek(). This fixes a glitch in the ogg vorbis
decoder plugin.
Since we are using curl_multi_info_read() / CURLMSG_DONE for detecting
end-of-response, we can remove all running_handles==0 checks. For
some reason, that has never worked correctly.
curl_multi_info_read() is the authoritative source of the
"end-of-response" information. Always set c->eof when a CURLMSG_DONE
message is received, and check the result (success/failure) after
that.
I had this option enabled during development, but at some point, it
must have gotten lost. FAILONERROR makes the curl stream fail when
the server returns a status code 400 or higher. We are not interested
in the server's error document.
During codec detection, the beginning of the stream is consumed. This
is a common operation, which takes a lot of time when handling remote
resources. To optimize this, remember the first 64 kB of a stream.
This way, we can rewind the stream without actually fetching the start
of the stream again.
size_t and long aren't 64 bit safe (i.e. files larger than 2 GB on a
32 bit OS). Use off_t instead, which is a 64 bit integer if compiled
with large file support.
Replaced the local variable "colon" (which had only temporary meaning)
with the variable "value". It is a pointer to the first byte of the
header value.
Instead of managing a set of method pointers in each input_stream
struct, move these into the new input_plugin struct. Each
input_stream has only a pointer to the plugin struct. Pointers to all
implementations are kept in the array "input_plugins".
MPD's HTTP client code has always been broken, no matter how effort
was put into fixing it. Replace it with libcurl, which is known to be
quite stable. This adds a fat library dependency, but only for people
who need streaming.
