- Remote MOTD support. Not adequately tested. Required restructuring of the asynchronous download callback and handler.
- Added some consts throughout url.c, etc.
- Fix segfault where the an include directive specifies a URL and cURL follows redirects, resulting in a different resultant URL. The remote includes code would look for the an include block using the resultant URL and assume that it would be found. The new code searches differently, has new checks, and ignores the resultant URL.
- Removed duplicated m_motd() and friends that were both in modules and s_serv.c. The copies in s_serv.c (core) were overriding the in-module functions.
Previously this caused some really odd behavior. Backslashes are now
treated as-is, so no special escaping is necessary. Reported by DelGurth
(#0003002).
- Removed old dgets() function
load (for example when the webserver is down), then the most recent
version of that remote include will be used, and the ircd will still boot
and be able to rehash. Even though this is quite a simple feature, it
can make a key difference when deciding to roll out remote includes on
your network. Previously, servers would be unable to boot or rehash when
the webserver was down, which would be a big problem (often unacceptable).
The latest version of fetched urls are cached in the cache/ directory as
cache/<md5 hash of url>.
Obviously, if there's no 'latest version' and an url fails, the ircd will
still not be able to boot. This would be the case if you added or changed
the path of a remote include and it's trying to fetch it for the first time.
To disable this new behavior, check out REMOTEINC_SPECIALCACHE in
include/config.h.
defines IRC_USER, IRC_GROUP which is a string specifiying what user name/
group name that should be changed into, instead of a hardcoded gid/uid.
This should make it easier for packaged binary releases to work (even
though this probably means Debian will take us in, ick .. Can't we pull
a new fight with debian-legal again?)

file descriptors being leaked upon every /REHASH.
So if you, for example, had 3 modules loaded and rehashed 30 times, it would cause
the ircd to consume 60 useless file descriptors (which often means 60 less file
descriptors being available to clients).
This should get rid of some annoying untracable (and usually rare) crashbugs in the
old resolver. Besides that, it makes things look more clean and understandable.
This should be the fix for the following bugids (all the same issue): #2499, #2551, #2558,
#2559, #2603, #2642, #2502, #2501, #2618, #2616.
Feedback and testing is very much welcomed (syzop@unrealircd.com).
(perhaps this should be a different function?). Anyway, this means less diskspace
is needed (~1.5mb or more), and it also makes it a bit easier for RBAC (#2300).
- Made a new function DoMD5() which is ssl/non-ssl independent. Also made the cloaking
module and the auth functions use it. Hopefully I didn't break anything ;). Suggested
by Bugz (#2298).
- Fixed 'no server notice on /restart or /die', reported by Lx (#0001062). This was caused
by a bug in flush_connections(&me), hopefully there won't be any side effects.
- Fixed file owner problems when IRC_UID/IRC_GID is used (eg: when running chrooted).
- Fixed crashbug if we were unable to write a remote include file to disk.
random numbers. We will also no longer be using rand()/random() anywhere.
Thanks to dek\ for pointing out this is potentionally dangerous, especially on
win32 with NOSPOOF enabled.
If set to 'yes' or '1' it will strip all part comments,
if set to something else it will use that as a part comment.
- Partial cleanup of m_part (hopefully I didn't destroy anything).
- Minor stats compile warning fixed
