Review request for kdelibs and Andreas Hartmetz.


Changes
-------

Changed the user-configurable property name from "MaxInstancesPerHost" to "MaxConnections".


Description
-------

This patch is an alternate approach to making the number of ioslaves connections allowed per server configurable by the user. Unlike the patch proposed in bug# 64647, the approach taken in this patch neither requires any new API additions to KIO::Scheduler nor does it limit configurablity per protocol.

For restricting the number of ioslaves per server/host all a user would have to do is add a "MaxInstancesPerHost" property to the specific protocols configuration file. For example, to limit the number of ftp connections to "ftp://ftp.foo.bar" to 1, one would only have to add the following to $KDEHOME/share/config/kio_ftprc:

[ftp.foo.bar]
MaxInstancesPerHost=1

But that is not all. The user can make that restriction apply globally to all ftp connections by simply moving property to the global section of of the configuration file. That is move it out of the host ("[ftp.foo.bar]") section. And to make it apply to every protocol, simply move the property to the generic ioslave configuration file, $KDEHOME/share/config/kioslaverc.


This addresses bug 64647.
