[Gaim-devel] Oscar FT update

[William T. M. <wt...@du...>]

Hi,

This patch makes a few minor changes to Oscar file transfer.  They
should all be uncontroversial; please apply.

* Add some comments I inadvertently left out of my last patch.
* Fix a double-free that occurs when connections time out.
* Correct a bug causing filenames to be truncated by 4 characters on
  some clients.
* Preserve directory structure when sending multiple files.
* Handle (throw away) resource forks sent by Mac clients.

BTW, there is still stuff to be done for file transfer--I'll try to
work on them as time permits, but here's my list for now:
* Reverse connections for receiving from behind a firewall (reverse
connections for sending should work)
* Connections through ars.aol.oscar.com:5190 when both sides are
behind a firewall (I have the protocol for this)
* Support non-ASCII filenames--it seems they are sent over the network
as UCS-2 so we need to convert to/from UTF-8
* Either implement getfile support or rip out all the obsolete code in
ft.c (I'm leaning toward the latter :)
* Rewrite the generic FT code--I think the interface is OK, but my
current implementation has some race conditions.  To avoid conflicts I
don't plan to touch this until the FT GUI is finished.
