RuntimeException is very generic and might be thrown for other reasons apart from web request failures.
This is backwards compatible because InternetException is a descendent of RuntimeException. Additionally, getURL() and postURL() have intentionally been left untouched for backwards compatibility's sake.
* Added a new PermissionManager, remove ridiculous cyclic dependencies of Permissions on Server
Aside from all the other ridiculous design problems with the permission system, the biggest problems are its API. This is, once again, a result of poor API design copied from Bukkit.
This pull request removes all permission-related functionality from `PluginManager` and moves it to the `pocketmine\permission\PermissionManager` class.
As can be observed from the removed code in the diff, the permissions system was previously entirely dependent on the Server, because it needed to get the PluginManager for registering permissions. This is utterly ridiculous. This refactor isolates _most_ permission-related functionality within the `permission` namespace.
As mentioned above, this stupid API is a direct result of copying from Bukkit. If you look at the API documentation for Bukkit for `PluginManager` you will see that the methods I'm deprecating here are also in there.
## Changes
- Added a new `PermissionManager` class. This can be accessed via its singleton `getInstance()` static method.
- Deprecated the following `PluginManager` methods - these will be removed no later than 4.0.0:
- `getPermission()`
- `addPermission()`
- `removePermission()`
- `getDefaultPermissions()`
- `recalculatePermissionDefaults()`
- `subscribeToPermission()`
- `unsubscribeFromPermission()`
- `getPermissionSubscriptions()`
- `subscribeToDefaultPerms()`
- `unsubscribeFromDefaultPerms()`
- `getDefaultPermSubscriptions()`
- `getPermissions()`
- Added `Internet::getIP()`, `Internet::getURL()`, `Internet::postURL()`, and `Internet::simpleCurl()`.
- Deprecated the corresponding functions in `Utils`. Updating to the new functions is as simple as replacing `Utils` with `Internet`, since this doesn't break backwards compatibility.
The deprecations should be catered for by plugin developers. These deprecated redirects will be removed no later than 4.0.0.
NetworkSession and some SessionHandlers hold cyclic refs to each other, stopping them getting destroyed. Unfortunately, these also reference the player, stopping that getting destroyed too.
The cycle garbage collector will deal with this, but it's best to get rid of the cyclic refs for immediate collection.
I considered renaming sendDataPacket() to dataPacket() to reduce the BC breaks, but the parameter set has changed, which might cause astonishing behaviour, so it's better to break it in a loud way. Also, this has a clearer name.
- Separated player handling and creation from network interfaces
- Rewire disconnects to make them not be recursive
- Batching now uses sessions instead of players
- Fixed DisconnectPacket getting sent to players who disconnect of their own accord
