Subject: uclient-http: fix hang on HTTP to HTTPS redirect
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=80c9bd29c233;p=project%2Fuclient.git

uclient-http: fix hang on HTTP to HTTPS redirect

Defer header processing to a uloop timeout to avoid modifying stream
state while inside its callback chain. When switching protocols during
a redirect, the old stream's callback code could corrupt the new SSL
stream's state due to the union memory sharing between ustream_fd and
ustream_ssl.

Add HTTP_STATE_PROCESS_HEADERS intermediate state to prevent body data
from being processed before the deferred header_done callback runs.
Also detect protocol changes (HTTP to HTTPS) in uclient_http_connect()
to force a proper disconnect and reconnect.

Fixes: https://github.com/openwrt/uclient/issues/13
