The story of search_results.css
static/skin/search_results.css was extracted from
static/templates/no_search_result.html before the latter was dropped.
static/templates/no_search_result.html in turn seems to be a copied and
edited version of static/templates/search_result.html.
In the context of exploratory work on the internationalization of
kiwix-serve (PR #679) I noticed duplication of inline CSS across those
two templates and intended to eliminated it. That goal was not fully
accomplished (static/templates/search_result.html remained untouched)
because by that time PR #679 grew too big and the efforts were diverted
into splitting it into smaller ones. Thus search_results.css slipped
into one of those small PRs, without making much sense because nothing
really justifies preserving custom CSS in the "Fulltext search unavailable"
error page.
At the same time, it served as the only case where a link to a cacheable
resource is generated in C++ code (rather than found in a template).
This poses certain problems to the handling of cache-ids. A workaround
is to expel the URL into a template so that it is processed by
`kiwix-resources`. This commit merely demonstrates that solution. But
whether it should be preserved (or rather the "Fulltext search
unavailable" page should be deprived of CSS) is questionable.
The "Fulltext search unavailable" error page is now generated using the
static/templates/error.html template. Also added two test cases checking
that error page.
404.html no longer contains anything specific to the 404 error and will
henceforth serve (with some enhancements) as a general purpose error
page template.
Deduplicated the mustache templates static/templates/catalog_v2_entries.xml
and static/templates/catalog_v2_complete_entry.xml (the latter was
renamed to static/templates/catalog_v2_entry.xml).
This changes the output of `/catalog/search` as follows:
- Entire search query (rather than only the value of the `q` parameter)
is put in the <title> node.
- Search performed with an empty query presents itself as "All zims".
- The feed id remains stable for identical searches on the same
library.
/catalog/v2/entries is intended to play the combined role of
/catalog/root.xml and /catalog/search of the old OPDS API. Currently,
the latter role is not yet implemented.
Implementation note: instead of tweaking and reusing
`OPDSDumper::dumpOPDSFeed()`, the generation of the OPDS feed is done via `mustache`
and a new template `static/catalog_v2_entries.xml`.
Note: This commit somewhat relaxes validation of non variable
`<updated>` elements in the OPDS feed - the contents of any `<updated>`
element is replaced with the YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ placeholder.
- `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
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).
-
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
ctpp2c is used to pre-compile the template resource.
However, on OSX, ctpp2c seems to be difficult to compile, as we don't need
ctpp2 at all on OSX/iOS, lets just stop to force the use of ctpp2c.
- 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.
