On creating these items, the viewer sends a UDP AssetUploadRequest followed by a CreateInventoryItem.
It was possible for the CreateInventoryItem/UpdateInventoryItem to occasionally outrace the AssetUploadRequest and fail to find an initialized Xfer object, at which point the item create would fail.
So instead we always set up a Xfer object on either the asset or inventory item update request.
This does not introduce a new race because code already exists to delay the item operation until the asset is uploaded if necessary (but this only worked if the xfer object already existed)
This resends appearance uuids to avatars in the scene once a minute.
I have seen this help in the past resolve grey appearance problems where viewers have for unknown reasons sometimes ignored the packet.
The overhead is very small since only the UUIDs are sent - the viewer then requests the texture only if it does not have it cached.
This setting will not help with cloudy avatars which are usually due to the viewer not uploading baked texture data or uploading something that isn't valid JPEG2000
Make AssetServiceConnector return more useful data on failure, such as what DLL it was trying to load
Allow LocalAssetServiceConnector.GetData() to work without a cache present, as works for the other lasc Get* methods.
This is to resolve a problem where an asset marked as local but not temporary but still used in the scene would be removed.
The timed expiry scan no longer tries to refetch assets from the scene that are not currently in the cache - this is not helpful since it just drags a lot of data into the cache that may never be referenced.
This removes the DeepScanBeforePurge option since setting this to false will introduce the above problem. This previously had a default of true.
As far as I know, this was only used by the IBM Rest modules, much of which has been commented out for a very long time now. Other similar code uses HTTP or stream handlers instead.
So commenting this out to reduce code complexity and the need to make this facility consistent with the others where it may not be used anyway.
If this facility is actually being used then please notify me or uncomment it if you are core.
This allows us to associate debug logging messages with the right request.
It also allows us to put a request number on 'long request' logging even if other debug logging is not enabled, which gives us some idea of whether every request is suffering this problem or only some.
This is a separate internal number not associated with any incoming number in the opensim-request-id header, this will be clarified when logging of this incoming request number is re-enabled.
This commit also adds port number to HTTP IN logging to allow us to distinguish between different request numbers on different ports.
This is only printed if debug http level >= 4 and the request didn't take more than the time considered 'long', in which case the existing log message is printed.
This displaces the previous log levels 4 and 5 which are now 5 and 6 respectively.
This is for debugging purposes.
This is controlled via the "debug http" command which can already log incoming requests.
This now gains a mandatory parameter of in, out or all to control what is logged.
Log messages are also shortened and labelled and HTTP IN or HTTP OUT to be consistent with existing UDP PACKET IN and PACKET OUT messages.
