So how do we download files now?
Java. Java supports https:// out of the box, is very portable between
operating systems and CPUs, uses its own root CA certificates, is already
used on all the buildbots, and is documented as being a mandatory build
dependency (even though it doesn't seem that way in ./configure). A simple
class main/solenv/javadownloader/AOOJavaDownloader.java gets compiled into
main/solenv/<platform>/class/AOOJavaDownloader.class by the ./bootstrap
script, and then called from Perl's main/solenv/bin/
download_external_dependencies.pl and
main/solenv/bin/modules/ExtensionsLst.pm using system(), in place of
LWP::UserAgent. Internally, it uses java.net.URLConnection for http/https
support, deals with HTTP redirection, also verifying MD5 and SHA1 hashes
like the Perl DownloadFile() function it replaces.
The way it's been set up is a bit of a hack, but it's working phenomenally
well on both FreeBSD and Windows, and with it the Windows aoo-win7 buildbot
has successfully bootstrapped for the first time in memorable history, and
with VCVARS32.BAT eliminated it looks like it may even finish building
successfully!
This sounds very promising. I hope it works.
