Currently automationutils.py knows how to run minidump_stackwalk locally to process minidumps resulting from crashes in our test suites. bug 561754 would like to offload this processing to a different machine, so that the build machines don't have to download the symbols. bug 563678 implemented a simple CGI that accepts a minidump and symbols URL via HTTP POST, and returns the stackwalk output in the body. We'll need to hack automationutils to be be able to use this service.
This modifies automationutils.py and allows it to use stackwalk.cgi for minidump processing. I've added catlee's poster library as a zip file for convenience, since posting multipart/form-data is pretty ugly in Python otherwise (and shuffling multiple files for a Python library around our tet harnesses is clunky).

To use:
1) Set MINIDUMP_STACKWALK_CGI=http://url/to/stackwalk.cgi in the environment, instead of MINIDUMP_STACKWALK
2) Run test harnesses with --symbols-path=http://url/to/symbols.zip pointing at the symbol package for the build being tested
3) ??
4) Profit

If open(d, "rb") fails for some reason, then f won't be set, and you'll get a NameError in the finally block.  Initialize f to None before the try block?

Pushed to m-c:

We should test this in RelEng staging, and then if everything works fine I'll land this on branches.

Urgh, I'm an idiot, I read the bugmail as "review granted" when it said "review not granted". I fixed the one thing you commented on, is there anything else you wanted fixed in this patch?
