[forwardport] fix(netx): stop collecting HTTP performance metrics (#689)
This diff forward ports b6db4f64dc83a2a27ee3ce6bba5ac93db922832d, whose
original log message is the following:

- - -

We're now using ooni/oohttp as our HTTP library in most cases.

A limitation of this library is that net/http/httptrace does not
work very well and reliably because (1) we need to use oohttp's
version of that code and (2) we cannot observe net events.

I noticed this fact because an integration test for collecting
HTTP performance metrics was broken.

The best solution here is to remove this functionality, since
it was basically unused in the repository. Only some integration
tests inside urlgetter bothered with these metrics.

A more clinical fix would have been to use ooni/oohttp/httptrace
instead of net/http/httptrace in the stdlib, but it does not
seem to be a good idea, given that those metrics were not used.

With this diff applied, we'll further reduce the number of locally
failing integration tests to just jafar-specific tests.

This diff WILL need to be forwardported to `master`.

Package github.com/ooni/probe-engine/netx

OONI extensions to the net and net/http packages. This code is used by ooni/probe-engine as a low level library to collect network, DNS, and HTTP events occurring during OONI measurements.

This library contains replacements for commonly used standard library interfaces that facilitate seamless network measurements. By using such replacements, as opposed to standard library interfaces, we can:

  • save the timing of HTTP events (e.g. received response headers)
  • save the timing and result of every Connect, Read, Write, Close operation
  • save the timing and result of the TLS handshake (including certificates)

By default, this library uses the system resolver. In addition, it is possible to configure alternative DNS transports and remote servers. We support DNS over UDP, DNS over TCP, DNS over TLS (DoT), and DNS over HTTPS (DoH). When using an alternative transport, we are also able to intercept and save DNS messages, as well as any other interaction with the remote server (e.g., the result of the TLS handshake for DoT and DoH).

This package is a fork of github.com/ooni/netx.
