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).
-
This class is used to map an id (uuid) to a name (potentially human
readable).
This will be use by the server to or renderer to use a different "name"
than the id.
The default NameMapper provided use the id as a name.
The `common` name is from the time where kiwix was only one repository
for all the project (android, desktop, server...).
Now we have split the repositories and kiwix-lib is the "common" repo,
the "common" directory is somehow nonsense.
Mustache templating system is a bit simpler than ctpp2 and ctpp2 is no
more maintained (see #189).
We are moving to the kainjow's Mustache project
(https://github.com/kainjow/Mustache).
It simplify a lot our system has it is header only and we don't have to
precompile the template.
Fix#21
This feature is considered obsolete for a while.
In fact, it was already not supported since June 2018 as we were compiling
xapian without the chert backend support.
Assume that we don't support it and remove it from the code.
See kiwix/kiwix-tools#245
This is a API break. library.xml files will still work but the indexPath
and indexType will be dropped silently from the file.
The library now contains (simple) methods to handle bookmarks.
The bookmark are stored in a separate xml file.
Bookmark are mainly a couple (`zimId`, `articleUrl`).
However, in the xml we store a bit more data :
- The article's title (for display)
- The book's title, lang and date (for potential update of zim files)
The previous API suffer different problems:
- It was difficult to handle articles redirecting to other article.
- It was not possible to get few information (title) without getting
the whole content.
The new API introduce the new class `Entry` that act as a proxy to an
article in the zim file.
Methods of `Reader` now return an `Entry` and the user has to call
`Entry`'s methods to get useful information.
No redirection is made explicitly.
If an entry is not found, an exception is raised instead of returning
an invalid `Entry`.
The common pattern to get the content of an entry become :
```
std::string content;
try {
auto entry = reader.getEntryFromPath(path);
entry = entry.getFinalEntry();
content = entry.getContent();
} catch (NoEntry& e) {
...
}
```
Older methods are keep (with the same behavior) but are marked as
deprecated.
The downloader is using libaria2.
For now, only one download can be run a the time.
A download will start only if (and as soon as) no download is running.
libzim only know how to read embedded full text index in a zim file.
This is nice as we want to embedded the full text index in zim file and
not have separated full text index.
However, we still have some zim+separated index we have to read.
So we have to support the search in separated index for a while.
- No more dependency to reswrap binary (everything is done in python)
- Resource strings can be directly accessed.
As side effect, it add a check at compilation if the resource is
declared and compiled in the binary.
- The resource content can be overwritten at runtime with a env variable.
There is also few clean in the static as some files shoul be in the tools
directory.
The compile_resource script is install to let other project use it.
There is no more integrated build of dependencies in the build system.
Dependencies are discovered using pkg-config except for ctpp2 where there
is no pkg-config file.
