the operator was exactly inverted. that means that it actually wouldn't
compile with both older versions (that needed the aliases) and
potentially new versions (that will hide the data members - still not
the case as of 3.2).
amends 8a40554f0.
we need to deep-copy the struct hostent data, as otherwise the
concurrent connects will overwrite each other's lookup results.
this is a rather hypothetical fix, as the bug currently affects only
channels connecting two IMAP accounts, and only if the first host's
first address asynchronously fails to connect.
we did already set up the timeout when starting to send commands, but so
far we did not reset it when succeeding to send out data. rectify that.

while that's just bad api, inflate() can return Z_BUF_ERROR during
normal operation.
contrary to the zpipe example and what the documentation implies,
deflate() actually isn't that braindead. add respective comments.

The `socket_connect_one` function previously did an `exit(1)` when
encountering any errors with opening the socket. This would break
connecting to a host where multiple possible addrinfos are returned,
where the leading addrinfos are in fact impossible to connect to. E.g.
with a kernel configured without support for IPv6, the `getaddrinfo`
call may still return a hint containing an IPv6 address alongside
another hint with an IPv4 address. Creating the socket with the IPv6
address, which will cause an error, lead us to exiting early without
even trying remaining hints.
While one can argue that the user should have compiled without HAVE_IPV6
or used an appropriate DNS configuration, we can do better by simply
skipping over the current addrinfo causing an error. To do so, we split
out a new function `socket_connect_next`, which selects the next
available address info and subsequently calls `socket_connect_one`
again. When no hints remain, `sock_connect_one` will error out at that
point.
any structures may be invalid after callback invocation.
this has the side effect that the socket write callback now returns
void, like all other callbacks do.
the synchronous writing to the socket would have typically invoked the
write callback, which would flush further commands, thus recursing.
we take the easy way out and make it fully asynchronous, i.e., no data
is sent before (re-)entering the event loop.
this also has the effect that socket_write() cannot fail any more, and
any errors will be reported asynchronously. this is consistent with
socket_read(), and produces cleaner code.
this introduces a marginal performance regression: the maildir driver is
synchronous, so all messages (which fit into memory) will be read before
any data is sent. this is not considered relevant.
propagating many messages from a fast store (typically maildir or a
local IMAP server) to a slow asynchronous store could cause gigabytes of
data being buffered. avoid this by throttling fetches if the target
context reports memory usage above a configurable limit.

some servers actually bother to close down the SSL connection before
closing the socket.
this fixes the spurious "unhandled SSL error 6" messages.

the server can actually close the zlib stream before closing the socket,
so we need to accept it.
we don't do anything beyond that - the actual EOF will be signaled by
the socket, and if the server (erroneously) sends more data, zlib will
tell us about it.

zlib reports Z_BUF_ERROR when a flush is attempted without any activity
since the previous flush (if any). while this is harmless as such,
discerning the condition from genuine errors would be much harder than
avoiding the pointless flush in the first place.

the primary objective is reducing the number of small SSL packets (which
are always padded), but fewer syscalls in the non-SSL case should be
good as well.
instead of keeping the structures in an opaque array (which was a shadow
of the struct pollfd array if poll() was supported), make them directly
addressable.
this has the advantage that notifier-altering operations (mostly
en-/disabling) don't need to look up the structure by file handle each
time.
on the downside, data locality in the main loop is worse.
neither of these have any real effect on performance.
note that the structures are not allocated separately, but embedded into
the the parent structure (like sockets already were).
we should make no assumptions about the layout of OpenSSL's certificate
store, in particular when they are wrong. so copy the interesting part
instead of "deep-linking" into it.
this code is uglier than it should be, but OpenSSL's extensive use of
macros to manage data types would force us to include the ssl headers
into our headers otherwise, which would be even uglier.
REFMAIL: <545442CC.9020400@nodivisions.com>
instead of using a callback which messes with the certificate chain
verification, simply let OpenSSL ignore errors during that phase and
check the result only afterwards.
