The https://reproducible-builds.org project invests a lot of work
to make builds reproducible. This is a security property. It allows
to compare the build of binaries from different builder machines.
If they are identical, it means that either the builds have not
been manipulated or an attacker managed to attack all builder
machines in exactly the same way.
One problem that the reproducible-builds project often sees is
that projects include the build time in their binaries. This
makes builds unreproducible for apparently no reason. The build
date should not be of interest since binaries built on different
dates but from the same source code should not be different.
Thus I decided to remove the build date instead of re-implementing
the functionality without the GitRev task. Anyways the reported
date was not the build date but the date of the last git commit
which is even less informative. The git commit ID would have
information value but should only be relevant for "nightly builds".
Added also an example for one of the existing APIs. The problem is the
comma separator between objects which must not be there for the last
entry in a sequence. The new syntax adds the separator symbol
automatically.
These classes had been my own creative work.
Just the copyright line had been appeared possibly due to a bad
copy-paste activity, unaware that the line is a non-free addition.
- Fixes issue #160 : handle properly syntax exceptions with a user
friendly message
- Fixes loss of information on multiple blacklist entries editions
- Fixes loss of entries when moving entries from one list to another
Required for proper operation when the default system locale is Turkish,
as dottless and dotted i characters have specific case conversion rules
in this language.
Resizing JPEG snapshot images through /api/snapshot.jpg failed when
running on OpenJDK, but rendered successfully with a Oracle JDK.
Details in mantis 772 ( http://mantis.tokeek.de/view.php?id=772 ).
Removing any alpha component (useless in snapshot images) from the
rendered resized image solves the issue.
Previously, when checking for the first time the robots.txt policy on a
unknown host (not cached in the robots table), result was always empty
in the /getpageinfo_p.xml api and in the /CrawlCheck_p.html page. Next
calls returned however the correct information.
Thus enable getpageinfo_p API to return something in a reasonable amount
of time on resources over MegaBytes size range.
Support added first with the generic XML parser, for other formats
regular crawler limits apply as usual.
Especially for Turkish speaking users using "tr" as their system default
locale : strings for technical stuff (URLs, tag names, constants...)
must not be lower cased with the default locale, as 'I' doesn't becomes
'i' like in other locales such as "en", but becomes 'ı'.
This prevent rendering a big and inconvenient scrollbar on resources
containing many links.
If really needed, preview of all links is still available with a "Show
all links" button.
Doesn't affect the number of links used once the crawl is effectively
started, as the list is then loaded again server-side.
Redirections set for the transition of any eventual external uses:
- /api/getpageinfo.xml to /api/getpageinfo_p.xml
- /api/getpageinfo.json to /api/getpageinfo_p.json
This new "documentStructure" parameter can be set to false to only get
hosts accumulated references on a resource and thus prevent scraping the
specified URL and getting citations references.
Also set WebStructureGraph constants as final and updated the Javadoc
with example api call URLs.
Host names should not contain XML special characters such as quotation
mark, but at this stage the WebGraph may have mistakenly recorded a host
name with such characters. What's more the DigestURL constructor does
not prevent this.
By the way using serverObjects.putXML to encode host names we ensure
here the rendered XML is well formed and can be parsed by external tools
even if an structure entry is incorrect.
As described in mantis 720 (http://mantis.tokeek.de/view.php?id=720),
when requesting this API with a domain name instead of a complete URL
only HTTP references on default port were listed.
