ZIM viewer is now internally internationalized but the UI language
can only be set by providing the `userlang` query parameter in the URL:
Example:
/viewer?userlang=fr#wikipedia_en_climate_change_mini_2021-03/A/index
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Serving the language list as a JS file rather than JSON simplifies
a few things:
- cacheid management;
- having to manually delay the UI initialization until the JSON file
is loaded.
static/skin/languages.js must be generated/updated manually by running
the static/generate_i18n_resources_list.py script.
Before this change, some of the actions related to the initialization of
the viewer were run in the global scope as a side effect of loading
/skin/viewer.js. This change moves those actions into setupViewer().
This is a quick workaround (at the expense of data duplication) for
having to generate the i18n data in JSON format from the embedded i18n
resource data.
Note, however, that at this point i18n resources are not included in
the list of regular static resources. This will change in the next
commit.
Special URI symbols occurring in the item path part of the search result
link were NOT encoded, because that would also encode the path separator (/)
symbol. Now that `urlEncode()` never encodes the / symbol, it is safe to
encode all other URI-special symbols in the path.
This change is a quick hack solving known issues with URI-encoding in
libkiwix.
This change removes the slash character from the list of URL separator
symbols in URL encoding/decoding utilities, and makes it a symbol that
is safe to leave unencoded.
Effects:
- `urlEncode()` never encodes the '/' symbol (even when it is requested
to encode the URL separator symbols too).
- `urlDecode(str)`/`urlDecode(..., false)` will now decode %2F to '/';
other encoded URL separator symbols are NOT decoded when the second
argument of `urlDecode()` is set to false (which is the default).
Without specifying the "Path" attribute of the cookie in the "Set-Cookie" header
we end up with multiple instances of the cookie for different URLs. We
want a single "global" cookie for kiwix-serve. Besides we want it to be
"permanent" rather than a session cookie, hence the large (1-year-long)
TTL value for the "Max-Age" attribute.
- Description of a test point was not updated in an earlier commit
that added proper handling of the Accept-Language header. Also
after enhancing the limited implementation it made sense to
add another test point demonstrating that the most suitable language
(rather than just the first one in the list) is selected.
- Now failures of the test case because of a missing Set-Cookie header
are more informative.
The question mark (?) is not a valid filename character on Windows.
Changing to a the pound sign (#) so that this repository can still be
cloned on Windows.
Specifying the = symbol with single-character options makes that
character included in the option value (e.g. -l=en results in the
language of the ZIM file being set to =en).
Directly pointing the suggestion link to a /content/... URL avoids
an unnecessary redirection by the server (and an associated bug
related to redirection of URLs with URI-encoded special symbols in
them that - in the current implementation - go into the target URL
in decoded form).
This change fixes two issues:
1. Presence of URL-specific special symbols (such as ? or #) in the book
and/or article name resulted in a wrong suggestion link. This is
fixed by URI-encoding the book name and the path, too.
2. Presence of a single quote symbol in the book and/or article name
resulted in invalid javascript code in the href attribute of the
suggestion link.
The single quote (') symbol is not URL-encoded (unlike its double quote
counterpart). As a result, enclosing a URL-encoded string in single
quotes may result in invalid javascript. Using double quotes instead is
safe, since both double quote (") and backslash (\) symbols (which are
the only special symbols for such quoting) undergo URL-encoding.
