Xirvik 981184574d Reset SCgiTask m_trusted on connection reuse
SCgiTask objects are pre-allocated in a pool (scgi.cc) and reused across
SCGI connections. SCgiTask::open() did not reset m_trusted, so when a
task that had handled an untrusted connection (m_trusted=false) was
reused for a new connection, m_trusted stayed false unless the new
connection explicitly sent UNTRUSTED_CONNECTION=1.

The header parser only set m_trusted=false on value 1 and was a no-op
on value 0 (the comment said "default is trusted, so do nothing") —
which is wrong for a reused task that is no longer in default state.

This caused intermittent rejection of trusted commands (e.g. ruTorrent
calling execute.capture for UID detection) with "Command X is not allowed
for untrusted connections", producing cascading plugin failures and
"ruTorrent cannot determine the UID of rTorrent user" in the web UI.

Fix:
- SCgiTask::open() resets m_trusted=true to default.
- parse_headers explicitly sets m_trusted=true on UNTRUSTED_CONNECTION=0,
  so the value sent on the wire is authoritative regardless of pool
  reuse semantics.

Verified on gb4 with rtorrent 0.16.11 + this fix: 30/30 trusted calls
succeed, 30/30 untrusted correctly blocked, 30/30 trusted-after-untrusted
batch all succeed (previously 70%+ would fail in the same scenario).

BUILDING

Jump into the github cloned directory

cd rtorrent

Install build dependencies

Install libtorrent with the same version rTorrent.

Generate configure scripts:

autoreconf -ivf

Optionally, generate man pages:

docbook2man rtorrent.1.xml

Man pages output to "doc/rtorrent.1".

RTorrent follows the development of libtorrent closely, and thus the versions must be in sync.

USAGE

Refer to User Guide: https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent/wiki/User-Guide

LICENSE

GNU GPL, see COPYING. "libtorrent/src/utils/sha_fast.{cc,h}" is originally from the Mozilla NSS and is under a triple license; MPL, LGPL and GPL. An exception to non-NSS code has been added for linking to OpenSSL as requested by Debian, though the author considers that library to be part of the Operative System and thus linking is allowed according to the GPL.

Use whatever fits your purpose, the code required to compile with Mozilla's NSS implementation of SHA1 has been retained and can be compiled if the user wishes to avoid using OpenSSL.
