[PATCH 0/4] fetch2: add alternative fetch method based on curl

[Pascal Eberhard via B4 Relay]

wget fetch method is used for web downloads with http, https, ftp, ftps
protocols. wget cmdline tool is missing some features such as hostname
resolution by the proxy when using SOCKS5 proxy. SSH tunnel provides
this feature for example.

This curl fetch method is based on curl cmdline tool and provides the
same protocols as wget and supports SOCKS5 hostname resolution.
This class inherits wget method in order to avoid code duplication as
much as possible.

wget remains the default download method. curl fetch method can be
enabled by setting a new bitbake variable:
  BB_FETCH_METHOD_HTTP = "curl"

The hostname resolution by SOCKS5 proxy is activated by setting
environment variable:
  all_proxy="socks5h://...""

a patch on ce-core will be sent if this proposal is accepted to
conditionnaly add curl to HOSTTOOLS variable in meta/conf/bitbake.conf:
HOSTTOOLS += "${@bb.utils.contains('BB_FETCH_METHOD_HTTP', 'curl', 'curl','', d)}"

curl fetch method is an alternative fetch method for web downloads. It
is based on curl cmdline tool and provides the same http, https, ftp

Hi Pascal,

Adding a second HTTP fetcher to bitbake increases complexity and
maintenance cost. The behaviour of wget and curl is unlikely to match
exactly and so issues will be caused when people switch from one to the
other (for whatever reason).

Is it just socks5h:// support that you need? Do you know if there is a
bug/feature request open with wget upstream regarding socks5h support?

Also, do you know the minimum curl version required to support socks5h?
This may be important as we support multiple distros which may have
different curl versions.

Best regards,

Indeed, I understand having to ponder the value given the increase in
the maintenance burden.

Actually, wget has no support at all for SOCKS proxy :(. A workaround
with tsocks works for SOCKS4 and SOCKS5, but hostname resolution isn’t
possible that way. So implementing socks5h in wget would require
implementing SOCKS proxy support from scratch, which explain the choice
of curl.

The 'socks5h' scheme has been supported since 2011. The motivation for
this proposal was SOCKS proxy support, but curl may have other benefits
than I am not aware of.


Best regards,
Pascal

Hi Pascal,

Thanks for your patches.

Writing type hint unions with a pipe was added recently to Python, 3.10
if I'm correct [1]. This is above the minimal 3.9 [2] version mandated
for bitbake.

And this is indeed failing on some supported distributions, at least on
Debian 11 and Rocky 9:
