rpc: introduce multiinfo query (fixes FS#17583)
The majority of "real world" info requests [1] come in hefty batches. We
would be better served to handle these in one request rather than
multiple by allowing AUR clients to send multiple arguments.
This enables things like this to work:
http://aur.test/rpc.php?type=multiinfo&arg[]=cups-xerox&arg[]=cups-mc2430dl&arg[]=10673
Note to RPC users: unfortunately due to the asinine design of PHP, you
unfortunately have to use the 'arg[]' syntax if you want more than one
query argument, or you will only get the package satisfying the last arg
you pass.
[1] Rough data from April 11, 2011, with a total hit count of 1,109,163:
12 /login.php
13 /rpc.php?type=sarch
15 /rpc.php?type=msearch
16 /pingserver.php
16 /rpc.php
22 /logout.php
163 /passreset.php
335 /account.php
530 /pkgsubmit.php
916 /rss2.php
3838 /index.php
6752 /rss.php
9699 /
42478 /rpc.php?type=search
184737 /packages.php
681725 /rpc.php?type=info
That means a whopping 61.5% of our requests were for info over the RPC
interface; package pages are a distant second at only 16.7%.
Lukas: Introduce "multiinfo" query instead of extending "info" (for the
sake of backward compatibility).
