Instead, run check_tkls() when TKL changes are made directly.
While this is technically slower when more than one TKL is placed
at once, the value of getting it out of the check_pings event is
greater.
This is partially for the sake of Stskeeps, even though he left the
project long ago, but mainly so we can work towards dynamic ticks in
the event loop while guaranteeing latencies for connected clients,
even with fakelag.
- 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.
descriptors. Because of this, Unreal did not restart properly as you would
get an "Address already in use" error. This only seemed to happen when
logging to syslog.
- Fixed a similar issue with syslog (and debugmode) and closing fd's as well:
the first port we listened on would not open up, ircd did not log any error.
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.
