fastcgi's ServeHTTP method originally returned the correct value (0) in
b51e8bc191. Later, I mistakenly suggested
we change that to return the status code because I forgot that status
codes aren't logged by the return value. So fastcgi broke due in
3966936bd6 due to my error.
We later had to try to make up for this with ugly Content-Length checks
like in c37ad7f677. Turns out that all we
had to do was fix the returned status here back to 0. The proxy
middleware behaves the same way, and returning 0 is correct. We should
only return a status code if the response has not been written, but with
upstream servers, we do write a response; they do not know about our
error handler.
Also clarifed this in the middleware.Handler documentation.
Most of the Windows test failures are due to the path separator not being "/". The general approach I took here was to keep paths in "URL form" (ie using "/" separators) as much as possible, and only convert to native paths when we attempt to open a file. This will allow the most consistency between different host OS. For example, data structures that store paths still store them with "/" delimiters. Functions that accepted paths as input and return them as outputs still use "/".
There are still a few test failures that need to be sorted out.
- config/setup/TestRoot (I hear this has already been fixed by someone else)
- middleware/basicauth/TestBrowseTemplate and middleware/templates/Test (a line endings issue that I'm still working through)
