It didn't feel right to have a "DHCPClient" in a "Servers" directory.
Rename this to Services to better reflect the type of programs we'll
be putting in there.
We now store the response headers in a download object on the protocol
server side and pass it to the client when finishing up a download.
Response headers are passed as an IPC::Dictionary. :^)
This feels a lot more consistent and Unixy:
create_shared_buffer() => shbuf_create()
share_buffer_with() => shbuf_allow_pid()
share_buffer_globally() => shbuf_allow_all()
get_shared_buffer() => shbuf_get()
release_shared_buffer() => shbuf_release()
seal_shared_buffer() => shbuf_seal()
get_shared_buffer_size() => shbuf_get_size()
Also, "shared_buffer_id" is shortened to "shbuf_id" all around.
The DownloadFinished message from the server now includes a buffer ID
that can be mapped into the client program.
To avoid prematurely destroying the buffer, the server will hang on to
it until the client lets it know that they're all good. That's what the
ProtocolServer::DisownSharedBuffer message is about.
In the future it would be nice if the kernel had a mechanism to allow
passing ownership of a shared buffer along with an IPC message somehow.
This patch adds ProtocolServer, a server that handles network requests
on behalf of its clients. The first protocol implemented is HTTP.
The idea here is to use a plug-in architecture where any number of
protocols can be added and implemented without having to mess around
with each client program that wants to use the protocol.
A simple client API is provided through LibProtocol::Client. :^)
