All HTTP-based tests now use an embedded test server instead of
httpbin.org, which makes them much faster and more reliable.
These more reliable tests also exposed some issues that began recently
with PR #1201. HttpFile's Flush() semantics were different than those
documented for files in general. Flush() used to close the file for
uploading, so that no further writes were allowed, but the documentation
stated that it would only flush data to its destination. PR #1201
brought HttpFile's Flush() in line with the docs, but gave us no way to
terminate a chunked upload.
This adds a new method to File called CloseForWriting(), which
terminates a chunked upload for HttpFile. The only other implementation
that does anything is UdpFile, which uses the socket library function
shutdown() to terminate writes while allowing reads.
This also tweaks HttpFile::CloseWithStatus() so that it will not
generate an error if the file is closed before the HTTP response is
written to the download cache.
This modifies the test HttpFileTest.MultipleWrites so that the file is
Flushed after each chunk. This adds test coverage for the changes
introduced in PR #1201.
Fixes#1224 (missing test coverage for HttpFile::Flush)
This adds Mongoose as a third-party library, and builds on top of that
an embedded HTTP server for our unit tests.
We are using a fork of Mongoose pending the merging of this PR:
https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose/pull/2301
The embedded web server will make our HTTP-based tests independent of
httpbin.org, which will make them quick and reliable.
