libmicrohttpd handles HEAD requests by dropping the body of the response
(if any). Hence letting a HEAD request through into the code that
processes GET requests is safe.
Also added server unit-tests related to the handling of HEAD requests.
Response::set_entry() was upgraded from a simple setter to a method
performing certain business logic that was previously taken care of by
InternalServer::handle_content().
- `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
Set the different filter's fields only when we are requested to filter
them. Else, we ends to requests that some fields are empty.
If the request has no argument, we raise an exception (catched) and so
we don't set the corresponding field in the filter.
Fix#303
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).
