[sldev] Certified HTTP Project Update Nov 21

[Ryan Williams (Which)]

This past week Seep and I continued fleshing out the agentdb test
application.  It's just a demo application that does lots of pseudo
object purchases, so it's sort of like what we expect the eventual
architecture to be.  It's uncovered a few bugs and weaknesses in
Certified HTTP, and just as important, taught us something about writing
applications of this nature.

Also last week we added monitoring hooks that allow us to look at the
status and timing of Certified messages and see whether any of them are
stalling or repeatedly failing.  We still lack a true data-driven REST
interface (right now we only have one HTML status page), but that should
be pretty straightforward to flesh out.

Sardonyx continued his work testing the client by adding fault injection
to test the failure cases.  His unit tests are so good, I feel compelled
to rewrite the server tests to match.  :-)

Oh, and we fixed a bug in eventlet relating to handling exceptions 
across coroutines.  http://svn.secondlife.com/trac/eventlet/changeset/47
