I've made some cvar related changes to the cURL support patch.
To review, the ET look-alike cvars for this have been dropped in an effort
to make the impact on SERVERINFO string much smaller.
The new server cvars for controlling this feature are:
sv_allowDownload [integer]
This cvar already exists in SERVERINFO and previously the only values
recognized were either 0 (off) non-0 (on). Now this is a bit-flag
value with any of the following combinations
1 - traditional UDP downloading allowed
2 - download redirection allowed (cURL)
4 - client should disconnect when using download redirection
This makes the only valid settings:
0 - no downloads
1 - udp downloads only
2 - redirected downloads only
3 - either udp or redirected downloads allowed
6 - disconnected redirect downloads only
7 - udp download or disconnected redirect downloads
sv_dlURL [string]
This used to be sv_wwwBaseURL in earlier patches. A string that
represents the base of the download URL. For example, setting
this to "http://tjw.org" may try to download a pak
at "http://tjw.org/baseq3/test.pk3"
I will be testing this latest patch the three main platforms. If
all goes well in testing and nobody has any concerns about this patch I
will commit it to trunk.
