Mostly just upgraded tools/test.py to the latest one that's in V8. But also
fixing the before and after hooks to preserve the test/tmp directory so that
running tests manually usually works.
Originally written to try to track down this bug report:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.javascript.nodejs/13924
As it turns out, it's showing a completely different kind of failure. When
the file is base64 encoded with the native program, then decoded with node,
it doesn't match the original. Something's fishy.
There are a few kinds of errors that are very confusing.
1. Errors raised in nextTick
2. Errors emitted on the "error" event
3. RangeErrors that crash the program (or anything without a stack trace)
Long traces will make make these better, of course. In the meantime, this
adds a few handy signposts (in the form of better error reporting and
comments on the otherwise inscrutable code printed to the terminal) that can
help new users find the cause, or at least, ask for help more effectively.
HTTP/1.1 requests, either with an event (check_continue) or automatically, if no event handler is present.
Add client-side expect/continue support, tests.
Expound upon client requirements for expect/continue.
rnewson found a good bug in keep-alive. we were only using the request
headers we send to enable/disable keep-alive but when the server sends
Connection: close we need to close down the connection regardless.
I wrote up a patch the Robert verified makes all his test client code work
now and I also added a new unittest for it.
This patch removes require.async from nodejs.
1. It complicated the code unnecessarily.
2. Everyone uses sync require anyway.
3. It's got a lot of weird edge cases when mixed with sync require.
4. It is many months behind the commonjs spec anyhow.
