Context: I am compiling notmuch on OpenBSD which has a rather old zlib
1.2.3. It seems that the behaviour of gzgets() changed slightly between
this version and more recent versions, but the manual does not reflect
that change. Note that zlib's manual:
- does not specify which error code (Z_OK or Z_STREAM_END) is set when
EOF is reached,
- does not indicate the meaning of Z_STREAM_END after gzgets(), but
based on its meaning as a possible return value of inflate(), I would
guess that it means EOF.
amended by db: tidy commit message
Many of the external links found in the notmuch source can be resolved
using https instead of http. This changeset addresses as many as i
could find, without touching the e-mail corpus or expected outputs
found in tests.
The idea is to provide a more or less drop in replacement for readline
to read from zlib/gzip streams. Take the opportunity to replace
malloc with talloc.
