Review request for Viewer.


Description

FIX FOR VWR-23741 (https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/vwr-23741) "Abnormal program termination when I enter an URL to the grid selection combobox (login-screen) and press enter."

Repository with fix: https://bitbucket.org/MartinRJ/vwr-23741

About:
When entering a malformed grid dns address, the viewer needs to catch the malformed address. Currently it throws an error in a subroutine of the grid-address-handling (llviewernetwork.cpp, function 'addGrid') and crashes without warning due to a thrown error ("throw LLInvalidGridName(grid);").

This fix adds code to:
notifications.xml (a warning message text/notification: "IllegalGridName"),
llviewernetwork.h (a function which checks whether a given grid exists, by name (string): bool getGridExists),
llpanellogin.cpp (an include for llviewernetwork.h, and a check against an invalid grid dns address in function onSelectServer).

Todo: Maybe edit the notification message, and update the language files.


This addresses bug VWR-23741.

Testing
-------

Test plan: Insert a malformed grid dns address (e.g. http://grid.francogrid.org:8002 which works with some TPVs) into the grid selection combo on the login screen.
Expected behaviour: a popup shows up, informing about the malformed address, and the grid selection combo swaps back to the default grid (Agni).


Thanks,

MartinRJ Fayray
