Ddownload index, even when not presented with a Content-Length header (Fixes 430)
This works for the index download, but still does not work for downloading .apks correctly. That is, the Android Download Manager needs one of:
* `Content-Length: ...`
* `Connection: close`
* `Transfer-Encoding: Chunked`
headers to be set to work correctly. In the absence of all three of these, problems ensue. In fact in my toy web server, even the `Connection: close` did not seem to work correctly, but I'd be happy to be corrected on that. Either way, this is an improvement on what was there before.
For reference, here is my toy PHP web server, which can be saved in the root of the F-Droid repo and invoked with:
> `php -S 10.0.0.4:8888 no-headers.php`
```
<?php
function streamFile( $file ) { $size = filesize( $file );
$contents = file_get_contents( $file );
$buffer = (int)( $size / 5 );
$bytes = 0;
while ( $bytes < $size ) {
$toStream = min( $size - $bytes, $buffer );
echo substr( $contents, $bytes, $toStream );
$bytes += $toStream;
// Sleep to allow progress to be viewed in F-Droid
sleep( 1 );
}
}
$index = "/fdroid/repo/index.jar";
$firefox = "/fdroid/repo/fennec-40.0.multi.android-arm.apk";
// Test downloading a large .apk to see how it behaves
if ( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == "/fdroid/repo/fennec-40.0.multi.android-arm.apk" ) {
$file = $firefox;
} else {
$file = $index;
}
// Android Download Manager requires this (if not using Content-Length or Transfer-Encoding
// headers, but I can't seem to get it to work as expected).
header( "Connection: Close" );
streamFile( dirname( __FILE__ ) . $file );
```
