The tests that would have help avoid bug #73948 and all that mess :)

* bzrlib/transport/http/response.py:
(handle_response): Translate a 416 http error code into a bzr
exception.

* bzrlib/transport/http/_urllib2_wrappers.py:
(HTTPDefaultErrorHandler.http_error_default): Translate a 416 http
error code into a bzr exception.

* bzrlib/transport/http/_pycurl.py:
(PyCurlTransport._curl_perform): It could happen that pycrul
itself detect a short read.

* bzrlib/transport/http/__init__.py:
(HttpTransportBase._retry_get): New method, factorizing the retry
logic.
(HttpTransportBase.readv): We can have exception during the
initial GET worth degrading the range requirements (i.e. retrying
the GET request with either single or not ranges).

* bzrlib/tests/test_transport_implementations.py:
(TransportTests.test_readv_short_read): InvalidRange can also be
raised.

* bzrlib/tests/test_http.py:
(TestRangeRequestServer.test_readv_invalid_ranges): Was named
test_readv_short_read, the new name make the intent
clearer. Depending of the code path used (urllib or pycurl), both
exceptions can be raised.

* bzrlib/tests/HttpServer.py:
(TestingHTTPRequestHandler.do_GET): If invalid ranges are
specified, returns a 416 instead of the whole file (both are valid
according to the RFC).

bzr needs to scale up very well: projects with tens of thousands of
6
 
commits, tens of thousands of files, and tens of thousands of
7
 
branches.

We are concerned with both the big-O performance of the design, and
10
 
the multiplicative factors of the implementation.  Both is important.

For example, darcs, svn and arch use more than one inode per working
13
 
file (pristine, id file, etc).  This is only a constant factor, but
14
 
enough to more than double the space used by a typical tree.  We would
15
 
like to avoid it if we can.

From a early stage in development the features which do work should be
18
 
tested on large trees.
