Commit 09b057c ("[settings] Remove "uristring" setting type") removed
support for URI-encoded settings via the "uristring" setting type, on
the basis that such encoding was no longer necessary to avoid problems
with the command line parser.
Other valid use cases for the "uristring" setting type do exist: for
example, a password containing a '/' character expanded via
chain http://username:${password:uristring}@server.name/boot.php
Restore the existence of the "uristring" setting, avoiding the
potentially large stack allocations that were used in the old code
prior to commit 09b057c ("[settings] Remove "uristring" setting
type").

[image] Detect image type when image is first registered
The current usage pattern of image_probe() is a legacy from the time
before commit 34b6ecb ("[image] Simplify image management") when
loading an image to its executable location in memory was a separate
action from actually executing the image.
Call image_probe() as soon as an image is registered. This allows
"imgstat" to display image type information for all images and allows
image-consuming code to assume that image->type is already set
correctly.
Ignore failures if image_probe() does not recognise the image, since
we do expect to handle unrecognised images (initrds, modules, etc).
Unrecognised images will be left with a NULL image->type, which
image-consuming code can easily check.

[http] Rewrite HTTP core to support content encodings
Rewrite the HTTP core to allow for the addition of arbitrary content
encoding mechanisms, such as PeerDist and gzip.
The core now exposes http_open() which can be used to create requests
with an explicitly selected HTTP method, an optional requested content
range, and an optional request body. A simple wrapper provides the
preexisting behaviour of creating either a GET request or an
application/x-www-form-urlencoded POST request (if the URI includes
parameters).
The HTTP SAN interface is now implemented using the generic block
device translator. Individual blocks are requested using http_open()
to create a range request.
Server connections are now managed via a connection pool; this allows
for multiple requests to the same server (e.g. for SAN blocks) to be
completely unaware of each other. Repeated HTTPS connections to the
same server can reuse a pooled connection, avoiding the per-connection
overhead of establishing a TLS session (which can take several seconds
if using a client certificate).
Support for HTTP SAN booting and for the Basic and Digest
authentication schemes is now optional and can be controlled via the
SANBOOT_PROTO_HTTP, HTTP_AUTH_BASIC, and HTTP_AUTH_DIGEST build
configuration options in config/general.h.

UEFI platforms may provide a watchdog timer, which will reboot the
machine if an operating system takes more than five minutes to load.
This can cause long-lived iPXE downloads (or interactive shell
sessions) to unexpectedly reboot.
Fix by resetting the watchdog timer every ten seconds while the iPXE
main processing loop continues to run.

We do not set up any kind of virtual addressing before invoking an
ELFBoot image. Reject if the image's program headers indicate that
virtual addresses are not equal to physical addresses.
This avoids problems when loading some RHEL5 kernels, which seem to
include ELFBoot headers using virtual addressing. With this change,
these kernels are no longer detected as ELFBoot, and so may be
(correctly) detected as bzImage instead.

[netdevice] Allow network devices to disclaim IRQ support at runtime
VLAN and 802.11 devices use a network device operations structure that
wraps an underlying structure. For example, the vlan_operations
structure wraps the network device operations structure of the
underlying trunk device. This can cause false positives from the
current implementation of netdev_irq_supported(), which will always
report that VLAN devices support interrupts since it has no visibility
into the support provided by the underlying trunk device.
Fix by allowing network devices to explicitly flag that interrupts are
not supported, despite the presence of an irq() method.

[ipv4] Allow IPv4 socket addresses to include a scope ID
Extend the IPv6 concept of "scope ID" (indicating the network device

[tcp] Gracefully close connections during shutdown
We currently do not wait for a received FIN before exiting to boot a
loaded OS. In the common case of booting from an HTTP server, this
means that the TCP connection is left consuming resources on the
server side: the server will retransmit the FIN several times before
giving up.
Fix by initiating a graceful close of all TCP connections and waiting
(for up to one second) for all connections to finish closing
gracefully (i.e. for the outgoing FIN to have been sent and ACKed, and
for the incoming FIN to have been received and ACKed at least once).

[ipoib] Attempt to generate ARPs as needed to repopulate REMAC cache
The only way to map an eIPoIB MAC address (REMAC) to an IPoIB MAC
address is to intercept an incoming ARP request or reply.
If we do not have an REMAC cache entry for a particular destination
MAC address, then we cannot transmit the packet. This can arise in at
least two situations:
- An external program (e.g. a PXE NBP using the UNDI API) may attempt
to transmit to a destination MAC address that has been obtained by
some method other than ARP.
- Memory pressure may have caused REMAC cache entries to be
discarded. This is fairly likely on a busy network, since REMAC
cache entries are created for all received (broadcast) ARP
requests. (We can't sensibly avoid creating these cache entries,
since they are required in order to send an ARP reply, and when we
are being used via the UNDI API we may have no knowledge of which
IP addresses are "ours".)
Attempt to ameliorate the situation by generating a semi-spurious ARP
request whenever we find a missing REMAC cache entry. This will
hopefully trigger an ARP reply, which would then provide us with the
information required to populate the REMAC cache.

[stp] Add support for detecting Spanning Tree Protocol non-forwarding ports
A fairly common end-user problem is that the default configuration of
a switch may leave the port in a non-forwarding state for a
substantial length of time (tens of seconds) after link up. This can
cause iPXE to time out and give up attempting to boot.
We cannot force the switch to start forwarding packets sooner, since
any attempt to send a Spanning Tree Protocol bridge PDU may cause the
switch to disable our port (if the switch happens to have the Bridge
PDU Guard feature enabled for the port).
For non-ancient versions of the Spanning Tree Protocol, we can detect
whether or not the port is currently forwarding and use this to inform
the network device core that the link is currently blocked.
