This PR deprecates the file related RPC calls in favour of an improved HTTP API.
The main aim is to expose a simple to use API which can be consumed by thin
clients (e.g. curl and HTML forms) without the need for complex logic (e.g.
manipulating prefix trie manifests).
This adds a swarm ls command which lists files and directories stored in a
manifest. Rather than listing all files, it uses "directory prefixes" in case there are a
lot of files in a manifest but you just want to traverse it.
This also includes some refactoring to the tests and the introduction of a
swarm/api/client package to make things easier to test.
There is no need to depend on the old context package now that the
minimum Go version is 1.7. The move to "context" eliminates our weird
vendoring setup. Some vendored code still uses golang.org/x/net/context
and it is now vendored in the normal way.
This change triggered new vet checks around context.WithTimeout which
didn't fire with golang.org/x/net/context.
* cmd/bzzd: add missing p2p/discovery flags
* cmd/bzzd: fix two bugs crashing bzzd if bootnodes flag given
* cmd/bzzd: make no swap default, renamed flag bzznoswap->bzzswap
* internal/web3ext: correct methods for bzz IPC module
* cmd/bzzd: ethapi param not mandatory. Warning if no blockchain
* cmd/bzzd: correct default IPC modules in help string
* cmd/utils: fix help description for networkId - add Ropsten
* cmd/bzz, swarm/api, swarm/network: add swarm networkId flag
* cmd/bzzd: change nosync flag to sync and BootTFlag
This change imports the Swarm protocol codebase. Compared to the 'swarm'
branch, a few mostly cosmetic changes had to be made:
* The various redundant log message prefixes are gone.
* All files now have LGPLv3 license headers.
* Minor code changes were needed to please go vet and make the tests
pass on Windows.
* Further changes were required to adapt to the go-ethereum develop
branch and its new Go APIs.
Some code has not (yet) been brought over:
* swarm/cmd/bzzhash: will reappear as cmd/bzzhash later
* swarm/cmd/bzzup.sh: will be reimplemented in cmd/bzzup
* swarm/cmd/makegenesis: will reappear somehow
* swarm/examples/album: will move to a separate repository
* swarm/examples/filemanager: ditto
* swarm/examples/files: will not be merged
* swarm/test/*: will not be merged
* swarm/services/swear: will reappear as contracts/swear when needed
