generates garbage. This in turn interferes with using .netrc
because the garbage user+pwd can will override the
.netrc. Note that this may work ok sometimes
if the garbage happens to start with a nul character.
2. It turns out that the user:pwd combination needs to support
character escaping. One reason is the user may contain an '@' character.
The other is that modern password rules make it not unlikely that
the password will contain characters that interfere with url parsing.
So, the rule I have implemented is that all occurrences of the user:pwd
format must escape any dodgy characters. The escape format is URL escaping
of the form %XX. This applies both to user:pwd
embedded in a URL as well as the use of HTTP.CREDENTIALS.USERPASSWORD
in a .dodsrc/.daprc file. The user and password in .netrc must not
be escaped. This is now documented in docs/auth.md
The fix for #2 actually obviated #1. Now, internally, the user and pwd
are stored separately and not in the user:pwd format. They are combined
(and escaped) only when needed.
1. Cleanup test_common.sh to expunge (mostly) the use of the VS
path value. This has the effect of being unable to use the
Visual Studio C compiler for shell tests.
2. There is a missing case in CMakeLists.txt so add
defaulting for HDF5_C_LIBRARY_hdf5 using HDF5_C_LIBRARY.
Ward should probably examine this to get it fixed correctly.
3. Put back ref to esg.md in docs/Doxyfile.in
4. Fix minor warning in dut8proc.h
1. When running under windows (as opposed to cygwin)
we need to make sure to not user /cygdrive/ file paths.
This was ocurring in libdap4/d4read.c, but may occur
elsewhere.
2. Shell scripts in the git repo are not being checked-out
with the executable mode set. Had core.filemode set to false.
Was a major hassle to fix.
Modified provenance code to allocate the minimal space
needed for _NCProperties attribute in file. Basically
required using malloc in the provenance code and in ncdump.
Otherwise should cause no externally visible effects.
Also removed the ENABLE_FILEINFO from configure.ac since
the provenance code is no longer optional.
Charlie Zender noted that we forgot to define what happens for
various netcdf API attribute operations, notably nc_inq_att()
and nc_get_att().
So, I added a list of legal and illegal api calls for the provenance
attributes in docs/attribute_conventions.md.
I also added more test cases to ncdump/tst_fileinfo.c to verify
and fixed resultant errors.
