This is done for consistency and to allow removal or some access methods that increase code complexity.
However, this path has not been used for a long time, not even by LL 1.23 - viewers use caps http upload for this instead
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)
When a slider parameter is changed, the viewer uploads a new shape (or other asset) and the item is updated to point to it.
Viewer 1 uploaded the data in the initial request itself, so the asset references was almost always correctly updated.
However, viewer 3/2 always uploads data in a subsequent xfer, which exposed a race condition where the viewer would make the item update before the asset had uploaded.
This commit shuffles the order of operations to avoid this race, the item is updated with the new asset id instead of the old one while the upload was still taking place.
A second race had to be fixed where avatar appearance would also be updated with the old asset id rather than the new one.
This was fixed by updating the avatar appearance ids when the appearance was actually saved, rather than when the wearables update was made.
Refactor to remove the property "MyScene" and the pointless circular
refs to the managing classes. Converted the module to a non-shared module.
Reformatted source for 80 columns. Removed the special role the module
had in the old loader.
This resolves the problem where eyes and hair would turn white on standalone configurations
When a client receives body part information, for some insane reason or other it always ends up uploading this back to the server and then immediately re-requesting it.
This should have been okay since we stored that asset in cache. However, the standalone asset service connector was not checking this cache properly, so every time the client made the request for the asset it has just loaded it would get a big fat null back in the face, causing it to make clothes and hair white.
This bug did not affect grids since they use a different service connector.
* Added log4net dependency to physxplugin in prebuild.xml.
* Added missing m_log fields to classes.
* Replaced Console.WriteLine with appropriate m_log.Xxxx
* Tested that nant test target runs succesfully.
* Tested that local opensim sandbox starts up without errors.
