* Patch from Christopher "cuberoot" to fix the repeated, CPU-intensive call loop on url_fetch_recv_cb() which was discussed on gaim-devl with the subject "Yahoo (and maybe others): gaim_util_fetch_url_request() at 100% CPU until complete with repeated EAGAIN". He writes:
"When read() returns 0, that means eof... period. Don't check errno, don't collect $200.
The loop was caused by eof condition when errno had previously been EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK. The CPU-bound loop stopped when errno happened to be overwritten.
I also believe trying to use some/part of an HTTP request on ETIMEDOUT to be a mistake so I removed it. Funny enough the read(2) manpage doesn't document ETIMEDOUT as a possible errno, but it is. (see tcp_timer.c and tcp_subr.c in src/sys/netinet)."
This closes Adium Trac ticket #5685.
* Added some passing-NULL-to-printf() safety which has been sitting around in this file locally for a while, waiting for a worthwhile commit to accompany.

/** @page plugin-ids Plugin IDs @section Introduction Every plugin contains a unique identifier to prevent duplicate plugin loading and conflicts. This, which will be called a plugin ID from here on, must follow a specific format. This format categorizes a plugin and makes duplicate IDs unlikely. @section Format The basic format of a plugin ID is as follows: <tt><i>type</i>-<i>username</i>-<i>pluginname</i></tt> The @em type indicator specifies the type of plugin. This must be one of the following: - core - Core plugin, capable of being loaded in any program using libgaim. It must not use any UI-specific code. - prpl - Protocol plugin, providing additional protocols to connect to. - lopl - Loader plugin, which loads scripts as plugins (like Perl or TCL). - gtk - GTK+ 2.x plugin. It may use GTK+ code, but cannot use any window toolkit code (such as X11 or Win32). - gtk-x11 - GTK+ 2.x plugin using X11 code. - gtk-win32 - GTK+ 2.x plugin using Win32 code. - qpe - Gaim for Qtopia plugin. The @em username must be a unique identifier for that person. It @em should be your SourceForge ID. Do @em not leave this field blank. The @em pluginname is the name of your plugin. It can be whatever you like, though it's common to keep it all lowercase. Do not use spaces! If you want a space, use a '-'. Please do not put a version indicator in the ID. The GaimPlugin structure already has a field for this. @section plugin-db Plugin Database Although it doesn't exist yet, in time there will be a plugin database on the Gaim website, where users can download and install new plugins. Plugins will be accessed by your plugin ID, which is one reason why it must be unique. */ // vim: syntax=c tw=75 et
