This change introduces 'extractor.*.retries/timeout/verify' options
as a general way to set these values for all HTTP requests.
'downloader.http.retries/timeout/verify' is a way to override these
options for file downloads only and will fall back to 'extractor.*.…*
values if they haven't been explicitly set.
Also: downloader classes now take an extractor object as first argument
instead of a requests.session.
This commit changes the general behavior from
'Retry on every exception and abort on DownloadError' to
'Only retry on DownloadRetry exceptions and abort on every other one'
The previous version would have retried on several states which
would have no chance of ever succeeding (invalid URLs, etc.)
- '--no-part' command line option to disable them
- 'downloader.http.part' and 'downloader.text.part' config options
Disabling .part files restores the behaviour of the old downloader
implementation.
There was never any "good" reason for the strict separation
between extractors and downloaders. This change allows for
reduced resource usage (probably unnoticeable) and less lines
of code at the "cost" of tighter coupling.
- remove support for old windows config paths
- catch exception if cache-database can't be opened
- fix username/password settings for unit tests
- rename variable 'max_tries' to 'retries'
