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.

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.

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).

Michael Brown 7c8cc3ef6c Use standard xfer_open() argument list for downloader instantiator 2007-06-09 17:42:46 +01:00
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.

Michael Brown 59e738d756 Prefix all the open()-family routines with xfer_, to disambiguate them
from the normal POSIX-style open()

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.
