Api changes :
- removeLastPathElement do not takes extra arguments
`removePreSeparator` and `removePostSeparator`.
This is not needed as path do not need special tailing separator.
- Only one function `split`. Arguments can be implicitly convert to
string. No need for overloading functions to explicitly cast them.
- `split` function takes another argument `trimEmpty`. If true, empty
element are removed.
Path manipulation now almost pass trough a vector<string> to store each
path's part.
Most of the complex works is now made in the normalizeParts function.
There are two executable path :
- The user one (the appimage path)
- The real one (in the appimage archive)
When we search of `library.xml` we need the user one.
But when we search of `aria2c` or `kiwix-serve` we need the real one.
Fixkiwix/kiwix-desktop#256
If kiwix-desktop use a `library.xml` in the same directory than the
executable, we need to use it instead of the default one.
Instead of detect again the `library.xml` to use, let `kiwix-desktop` set
the library to use.
This also fix a issue when `/` is not a valid path separator in windows.
AppImage works by decompressing the "program" in a temporary directory.
So the executable path is not the path of the AppImage file.
By using the environment variables set by appimage we can find the correct
"path" of the executable.
Fixkiwix/kiwix-desktop#46
Android need to handle the redirection by doing a redirection in the web
view, not by providing the content of the targeted article.
This is already what we do in kiwix-serve or ios.
The API should be far better by returning a Entry but for now,
we just change the given url if the article is a redirection.
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).
