IDMS: Weekly status report #4 of 14

[Ambarisha B]

Hi,

Last week's progress:

- Testing (better signal handling in client)
- Finished status updates (i.e download progress is communicated back to
the client)
- Libfetch now accepts a connection

As per the schedule in the proposal, this week I should be working on
handling duplicate requests and checksum verification. The next week is a
buffer week. So, first couple of days I'll spend on fixing a few small
things like client wants the fetched file on its stdout and when the remote
site requires authentication (though, this might not be needed for fetching
distfiles).

Cheers
Ambarish
