From now on, the `lang` parameter of the /catalog/search,
/catalog/v2/entries, and /catalog/v2/partial_entries endpoints is
interpreted as a comma-separated list of languages.
Before this change RequestContext::get_query() returned a reordered
query string (alphabetically sorted by the parameter names).
This fix facilitiates testing of responses where the request URL appears
in the response.
Multizim search requires that all selected books be in the same
language.
No new URL query parameter was introduced for specifying the intended
search language - `books.filter.lang` can be used for that purpose.
The server_search unit-test was updated to use a slightly cheating
library xml file where the language of example.zim was tweaked from "en"
to "eng" in order to match that of zimfile.zim. Note that this change
drops from the tested server two other goofy ZIM files corner_cases.zim
and poor.zim that have been/are included in ServerTest.
During static resource preprocessing and compilation their cacheid
values are embedded into libkiwix and can be accessed at runtime.
If a static resource is requsted without specifying any cacheid
it is served as dynamic content (with short TTL and the library id
used for the ETag, though using the cacheid for the ETag would
be better).
If a cacheid is supplied in the request it must match the cacheid of the
resource (otherwise a 404 Not Found error is returned) whereupon the
resource is served as immutable content.
Known issues:
- One issue is caused by the fact that some static resources don't get a
cacheid; this is resolved in the next commit.
- Interaction of this change with the support for dynamically customizing
static resources (via KIWIX_SERVE_CUSTOMIZED_RESOURCES env var) was
not addressed.
Before this fix the root URL for a book was assumed to resolve to the
main page. This was not true for ZIM files containing an entry at an
empty path or with a path equal to "/", resulting in issue #826. The
logic behind this behaviour is found in `kiwix::getEntryFromPath()`.
The fix to that issue is a little more general and will result in an
HTTP redirect in any case where `kiwix::getEntryFromPath(zim, path)`
returns an entry with a real path different from the requested one. In
particular, this will affect the behaviour on ZIM files with the old
namespace scheme, where the requested resource - if not found - is also
looked up in the 'A', 'I', 'J', and/or '-' namespaces. Now instead of
returning the contents of that other resource an HTTP redirect response
will be sent.
If `kiwix-serve` is run with the `--nosearchbar` option the toolbar is
disabled (hidden) in its viewer.
Note however that certain actions performed by the viewer merely with
the purpose of keeping the toolbar up-to-date are still carried out.
`--nosearchbar` option of `kiwix-serve` (despite its misleading name)
was used to disable the entire taskbar. This commit accounts for the
existence of that option only partially:
1. Links to books on the welcome/library page are affected - by default
books are displayed in the viewer, but in a kiwix-serve instance run
with --nosearchbar books are loaded in the top window.
2. The `/viewer` endpoint is enabled unconditionally, so if anyone
enters the viewer URL in the address bar they will see books in the
viewer.
Made the viewer respect the `--blockexternal` and `--nolibrarybutton`
options of `kiwix-serve`. Those options are passed to the viewer
via the dynamically generated resource `/viewer_settings.js`.
The only place that the root link is now used is in /skin/index.js,
so added it in static/templates/index.html. But it seems that nothing
prevents us from from switching from aboslute paths to relative paths
in /skin/index.js, which will eliminate the need for the root link
altogether.
As a result of this change content is never decorated by kiwix serve.
This resulted in compiler aided discovery of all call sites where the
default values were used. For OPDS/catalog requests now passing true for the
`raw` parameter, since XML content isn't supposed to undergo any
transformations.
Removed the isHomePage param from one of the variants of
`ContentResponse::build()`. The other overload is dangerous since
failing to review&update all of its call site may result in changed
semantics. Will do it in a couple of separate commits.
The next goal is to redirect old-style /book/path/to/entry URLs to
/content/book/path/to/entry, which seemed pretty trivial.
However, given the current handling of some endpoint URLs, more work was
required to ensure that invalid endpoint URLs (e.g. "/random/number" or
"/suggest/fr") are not interpreted as content URLs. Previously, that was
not a user-observable issue, since the result would be an immediate 404
error (except in certain edge cases, like handling the request for
"/random/number" when there is a book with name "random" containing an
article at path "/number"). With redirection of URLs that were assumed
to refer to content a 404 error would be issued for the
transformed URL ("/content/random/number") which may be confusing.
Therefore this change is to ensure the correct routing of endpoint URL
handling.
Book content is now served under /content/book/...
The old access to book content via a top-level URL /book/... is so far
preserved for backward compatibility.
Redirects were changed to use the new URL scheme. Links in the search results
still use the old scheme.
If the server is initialized with a library.xml file, then the id
specified in the XML file is used (rather than the UUID recorded in the
ZIM file).
Note that in test/data/library.xml the book ids are fake and
different from the real ZIM IDs; that file was created for testing
of the /catalog endpoint which doesn't access ZIM content, so the
the same ZIM file zimfile.zim was added to library.xml three times as
three different books (with unique human-friendly ids). This explains
the diff in test/library_server.cpp.
