When verifying the signature of the SHA256SUMS file, we have been
hardcoding HashiCorp's public GPG key and using it as the keyring.
Going forward, Terraform will get a list of valid public keys for a
provider from the Terraform Registry (registry.terraform.io), and use
them as the keyring for the openpgp verification func.
Previously we forced only installing for the current GOOS and GOARCH. Now
we allow this to be optionally overridden, which allows building tools
that can, for example, populate a directory with plugins to run on a Linux
server while working on a Mac.
Some errors from Get are essentially user error, so we want to be able to
recognize them and give the user good feedback on how to proceed.
Although sentinel values are not an ideal solution to this, it's something
reasonably simple we can do to get this done without lots of refactoring.
Fetch the SHA256SUMS file and verify it's signature before downloading
any plugins.
This embeds the hashicorp public key in the binary. If the publickey is
replaced, new releases will need to be cut anyway. A
--verify-plugin=false flag will be added to skip signature verification
in these cases.
Previously we had a "getProvider" function type used to implement plugin
fetching. Here we replace that with an interface type, initially with
just a "Get" function.
For now this just simplifies the interface by allowing the target
directory and protocol version to be members of the struct rather than
passed as arguments.
A later change will extend this interface to also include a method to
purge unused plugins, so that upgrading frequently doesn't leave behind
a trail of unused executable files.
We can filter the allowed versions and sort them before checking the
protocol version, that way we can just return the first one found
reducing network requests.
Extend the test reslease server to return the protocol version header
and a dummy zip file for the provider.
Test filtering the plugins by plugin protocol version and add a full
GetProvder test.
