V3: Amended the HTTP driver patch per Siyuan Fu's suggestion.
Also reworded that patch to explain the problem more clearly.
V2: Updated my git config to generate the reviewer-friendly diff.
This patch series fixes a http request bug in HttpDxe and adds the
HttpBoot support to OvmfPkg.
I've tested the HttpBoot implementation with a simple environment:
[QEMU] <---(tap0)---> [HOST]
Ovmf DHCP server
HTTP server
With a proper config for the dhcp and http server in the host, the firmware
successfully fetched the remote EFI file and executed it. It's recommended
to update gnu-efi to the latest version to detect the IPv4 device path
correctly.
Known issues:
* DHCPv6 support is not implemented in HttpBootDxe at this moment.
* The unexpected TCP disconnection isn't handled in HttpDxe so the GET request
may fail while fetching the EFI image from some featureless http daemon such
as thttpd.
