Since the `value` field of the search suggestion results is HTML
escaped/encoded in the backend (see static/templates/suggestion.json) it
must be decoded in the frontend.
While [spec](https://wiki.openzim.org/wiki/Metadata#Favicon) says that the favicon
should be a 48x48 image, ZIM creators might not respect it.
If a ZIM contains a larger favicon, the UI is broken. This fixes it ans ensures all
favicon have equal sizes, removing the unpleasing lack of harmony that we can see sometimes.
Note that ZIM will smaller size favicon would get blurry as those would be upscaled.
- `setBlockExternalLinks()` on server
- zero-dependency JS code
- JS script added in `inject_externallinks_blocker()`
- changed URL to `/catch/external?source=<source>`
In many use cases, it is not wanted to have user accidentaly click on external links
and leave the served ZIM content.
This could be because the result is unpredictible (reader not implementing this properly)
or because the serve user knows there's no backup internet connexion or because there is
an induced cost behind external links that doesn't affect served content.
using a new flag (`blockExternalLinks`) on `Response`/`setTaskBar`, a piece of JS code
is injected into the taskbar code.
This code adds a JS handler on all link click events and verifies the destination.
If the destination appears to be an external link (1), the link target is changed to
a specific URL:
```
/external?source=<original_uri>
```
(1) external is a link that's not on the same origin and starts with either `http:` `https:` or `//`.
Server implements a new handler on `/external` that displays a new page (`captured_external.html`)
which returns a generic message explaining the situation and offering to click on the link
again should the user really want to.
This is done by specifically asking `set_taskbar` to not block external requests on that page.
This approach allows integrators using a reverse proxy to handle that endpoint differently (rebrand it)
1. `Server` now has an `m_blockExternalLinks` defaulting to `false`
1. `Server.setTaskbar` is extended to support an additional bool to set the variable.
1. `Response` now has an `m_blockExternalLinks`
1. `Response` constr expects an additional bool for `blockExternalLinks`.
1. `Response.set_taskbar` is extended to support an additional bool to set the variable.
1. JNI/Java Wrapper reflects the extensions.
1. New resource file `templates/block_external.js` (included in head_part). Should it be in skin?
1. New resource file `templates/captured_external.html` for `handle_captured_external()`
1. Added a comment on `head_part.html` to help with JS insertion at the right place
1. `introduce_taskbar()` conditionnaly inserts the JS inside the taskbar
The server will be running some code on the behalf of the calling code.
We really don't what to crash the library (and the binary) because
of a wrong request.
This code is mainly copied from kiwix-tools.
But :
- Move all the response thing in a new class Response.
- This Response class is responsible to handle all the MHD_response
configuration. This way the server handle a global object and do
no call to MHD_response*
- Server uses a lot more the templating system with mustache.
There are still few regex operations (because we need to
change a content already existing).
- By default, the server serves the content using the id as name.
- Server creates a new Searcher per request. This way, we don't have
to protect the search for multi-thread and we can do several search
in the same time.
- search results are not cached, this will allow future improvement in the
search algorithm.
- the home page is not cached.
- Few more verbose information (number of request served, time spend to
respond to a request).
TOOD:
- Readd interface selection.
- Do Android wrapper.
- Remove KiwixServer (who use a external process).
