test-lfs-test-server: add a testcase for `hg serve`
I haven't figured out yet how to make the authentication checks work for a
specific list of users, so the 'web.allow-push' list is wildcarded. (It appears
that the client doesn't react to a 401 by sending authentication data, which may
be caused in part by not having all of the headers in httpbasicauthhandler's
http_error_auth_reqed(), compared to a run of test-http.t. But in any case, we
should probably have a separate set of tests for various authentication
scenarios. As it is, without the wildcard, no push access is granted.)
There are several deviations from the `lfs-test-server` case:
- `hg serve` emits a Server header. I think Gregory indicated that this isn't
easily suppressed.
- `hg serve` names the "basic" transfer handler in the Batch API response. Not
having to specify it was for backwards compatability, so this seems like the
right thing to do. (`lfs-test-server` doesn't name it, whether it was
explicitly requested by the client or not.)
- PUT status for a newly created file is 201, per RFC-2616 [1]. The Basic
Transfer API [2] shows an example upload transcript with a 200 response. It
doesn't make much sense to re-upload a file (unless it is corrupt) in an
example, but I wouldn't be surprised if some other implementations also
expect 200 because of this. But the RFC says MUST use 201 for creation.
- The Content-Type for the file transfers is "application/octet-stream", like
the sample transcript (though I don't see it explicitly called out in the
text elsewhere). Using "text/plain" seems clearly wrong.
- `lfs-test-server` isn't removing the action property and sending back an
error code like the spec calls out when a file is missing or corrupt. Doing
so on the `hg serve` side reveals a bug in our client code when handling the
response- it indicates the remote file is missing instead of corrupt around
line 452.
I'll probably glob over the Content-Length differences once this settles down.
Prior to the recent hgweb refactoring, the Batch API response was using chunked
encodings instead.
Back to the RFC, I have no idea if the python framework handles the "MUST NOT
ignore any Content-* (e.g. Content-Range) headers that it does not understand or
implement and MUST return a 501" for a PUT request.
