httppeer: don't accept very old media types (BC) Versions of Mercurial older than 1.0 emitted the text/plain and application/hg-changegroup media types in response to wire protocol commands. Way back in 8760d0c83b9b in 2005, the code validating these media types was added, presumably for backwards compatibility. 0b245edec124 a short time before that commit changed things from text/plain and application/hg-changegroup to application/mercurial-0.1 and application/hg-0.1. 8760d0c83b9b seemed to indicate ("for now") that the BC compatibility was temporary. But that code has lived until this day. It has been more than 10 years and nobody should be running pre 1.0 servers. Pretty much the only risk to this is if there's a server somewhere advertising the old media types or server software is interfering and not letting Mercurial send the proper Content-Type header. I think the chances are rare. The wire protocol docs were created (by me) from reading existing code. So the deletions don't constitute a spec change as much as reflecting the reality of how things have been for years. .. bc:: The HTTP client no longer accepts text/plain and application/hg-changegroup Content-Type values as a valid Mercurial command response. These should only be encountered on pre 1.0 Mercurial servers. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D3239
