Description
curl-prgrs causes high CPU and even may slow down downloads because of this.
Possible approaches to fix this:
-
- find a replacement for curl-prgrs in bash, or
-
- re-implement curl-prgrs in python, or
-
- find a way to deprecate #tb-updater by using guix (T600) or so. Or not. [1]
-
- fix curl-prgrs, perhaps port it to pipeviewer
pv(T649)
- fix curl-prgrs, perhaps port it to pipeviewer
a) Emulate curl options in python:
--fail --tlsv1.2 --proto =https --max-time 180
b) Emulate endless data attack protection.
if [ "$bytes" -gt "$CURL_PRGRS_MAX_FILE_SIZE_BYTES" ]; then
exit 81
fi
c) Emulate environment variable CURL_PRGRS_EXEC processing.
(This is required to update the #tb-updater #msgcollector zenity progress bar.)
if [ "$CURL_PRGRS_EXEC" = "" ]; then
true
else
if [ "$percent_last" = "$percent" ]; then
true
else
percent_last="$percent"
eval $CURL_PRGRS_EXEC $percent
fi
fi
[1] Keeping #tb-updater has the advantage that it could relatively easily() transformed into a tpo-downloader, that can also fetch other software from torproject.org such as Tor Messenger.
() Time is an issue.
