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().
This is surprising, but C++11 fstream doesn't have a constructor
that take wchar as path.
So, on windows, we cannot open a stream on a path containing non ascii
char. VC++ provide an extension for that, but it is not standard and
g++ mingwin doesn't provide it.
So move all our write/read tools function to the plain old c versions,
using _wopen to open wide path on windows.
We must use the wide version of the getenv to correctly handle the case
we have accents in the user directory.
This also change the default dataDirectory on windows from $APPDATA to
$APPDATA/kiwix.
Fixed a regression introduced in block-external-links feature.
For cleaner source, the taskbar (and the block-external JS file) were both
attached to `<head>\n`.
Unfortunately, this isn't safe enough as some ZIM files might have all kinds of HTML
syntax. Sotoki for instance have no CR after head, rendering the attachment impossible.
Note: realizing this method is somehow fragile as any HTML content with extra attribute
on the `<head>` tag or without a `<head>` tag would break the taskbar and the block external feature.
- `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
We must correctly quote path with space on windows.
This is needed as we can't launch command using a array of string on
windows but by giving only one string using space as separator.
