This adds basic support for streaming files directly from the download
server. This avoids clients timing out if they are blocked while first
waiting for a giant file to download.
The earlier path mangling code was incorrect. I've taken more time to
understand the correct use case and I've improved it. I've also split
out the parser logic and added tests, so this should either stay stable
or grow new tests and fixes if we find new issues.
With the recent merging of embedded package imports and the entry CLI
package, it is now possible for users to build in mcl code into a single
binary. This additional permission makes it explicitly clear that this
is permitted to make it easier for those users. The condition is phrased
so that the terms can be "patched" by the original author if it's
necessary for the project. For example, if the name of the language
(mcl) changes, has a differently named new version, someone finds a
phrasing improvement or a legal loophole, or for some other
reasonable circumstance. Now go write some beautiful embedded tools!
This adds a new caching http proxy resource that can be autogrouped into
the core http:server resource, and which caches and serves files that it
received from a different http server. It first pulls them down when
they are initially requested, which makes it possible for us to use this
for provisioning a Linux installation without having to pre-rsync the
entire package repository.
