Author	SHA1	Message	Date
Michael Brown	f6a8158eed	Make seek information part of the xfer metadata, rather than an entirely separate xfer method. Add missing .alloc_iob entries to several xfer_interface_operations structures.	16 years ago
Michael Brown	b34d4d0449	Separate the "is data ready" function of xfer_seek() into an xfer_window() function, which can return a scalar rather than a boolean.	17 years ago
Michael Brown	ca4c6f9eee	Kill off unused request() method in data-xfer interface.	17 years ago
Holger Lubitz	6d0332b5b3	convert to zalloc	17 years ago
Michael Brown	73fe1ba9dd	Kill off job::start() (it was only ever added as part of an aborted attempt at triggering TCP-related protocols to start).	17 years ago
Michael Brown	7c8cc3ef6c	Use standard xfer_open() argument list for downloader instantiator	17 years ago
Michael Brown	10d0a1f8c7	Modify data-xfer semantics: it is no longer necessary to call one of request(), seek() or deliver_xxx() in order to start the data flow. Autonomous generators must be genuinely autonomous (having their own process), or otherwise arrange to be called. TCP does this by starting the retry timer immediately. Add some debugging statements.	17 years ago
Michael Brown	59e738d756	Prefix all the open()-family routines with xfer_, to disambiguate them from the normal POSIX-style open()	17 years ago
Michael Brown	b1755462ab	Do not hold self-references. This then avoids the problem of having to ensure that we only drop our self-reference exactly once. To maintain the guarantee that an object won't go out of scope unexpectedly while one of its event handlers is being called, the event-calling functions now automatically obtain and drop extra references.	17 years ago
Michael Brown	5471bfbbbe	Data-transfer interface should now be functionally complete.	17 years ago
Michael Brown	53da1f1402	Initial sketch for a downloader object	17 years ago
