kiwix::fileExists only checks for file existence now
kiwix::fileReadable will check if the file is readable (implicitly checking for file existence also)
As the name suggests it, this endpoint is not smart :
It returns the content as it is and only if it is present
(no compatibility or whatever).
The only "smart" thing is to return a redirect if the entry is a redirect.
As we render the entry's xml in a separated steps, we need to pass the
rootLocation to all the internal rendering.
Testing with and without root is not so easy.
I've simply made all server tests using a ROOT prefix.
We can assume that if the ROOT is present everywhere we need it, it will not
when we don't need. (As long as we don't hardcode "ROOT" in the server.)
At least on Retina Macbook Pros but most likely on other configurations,
the viewport's sizes is not exactly consistent to integer.
For instance, on a maximized Firefox, document.body.offsetHeight is 1,600.
When looking at the <html> on the inspector, I'd get 1,599.6, so **roughly** the same
but not exactly. Those inconsistencies are present on every level so being too strict
about those is probably not adequate.
This fixes#603 but allowing a 2% margin on the scroll position
to match the _end of screen_ and thus trigger the loading of additional cards.
This means that for the example above, it triggers at 1,568 instead of never reaching 1,600.
2% might be too large but it seems safe considering the potential of various resolutions
we may encounter and I don't see any side effect.
As a result of this clean-up the /suggest endpoint too stopped
generating confusing 404 Not Found errors (which, like in /meta's case
is not that important). Another functional change is that the "term"
parameter became optional.
Before this fix the /meta endpoint could return a 404 Not Found page
saying
The requested URL "/meta" was not found on this server.
Error cases producing such a result were:
- `/meta?content=NON-EXISTING-BOOK&name=metaname`
- `/meta?content=book&name=BAD-META-NAME`
Now a proper message is shown for each of those cases.
This fix is being done just for consistency (the /meta endpoint is not
a user-facing one and the scripts don't bother about error texts).
Now Response::build_404() takes the URL instead of the entire
RequestContext object. An empty url suppresses the
The requested URL "url" was not found on this server.
part of the error text.
Before this fix the /random endpoint could return a 404 Not Found page
saying
The requested URL "/random" was not found on this server.
Error cases producing such a result were:
- `/random?content=NON-EXISTING-BOOK` (can happen when a server is
restarted or the library is reloaded and the current book is no longer
available).
- Failure of the libkiwix routine for picking a random article.
Now a proper message is shown for each of those cases.
