variables
To use that feature, set an environment variable with prefix "yacy." and
suffix identical to the yacy configuration attribute name.
Additionaly we implemented a way to set a peer name using the setting
"network.unit.agent". This can therefore now be used to set a peer name
with the java call parameter
-Dyacy.network.unit.agent=anonymous
The purpose for this feature is the ability to set peer names in
mass-deployed kubernetes clusters to the same name to prevent that we
are flooding peer name statistics with auto-deployment-generated names.
Processing of gzip encoded incoming requests (on /yacy/transferRWI.html
and /yacy/transferURL.html) was no more working since upgrade to Jetty
9.4.12 (see commit 51f4be1).
To prevent any conflicting behavior with Jetty internals, use now the
GzipHandler provided by Jetty to decompress incoming gzip encoded
requests rather than the previously used custom GZIPRequestWrapper.
Fixes issue #249
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'.
- ensure use of HTTP POST method : HTTP GET should only be used for
information retrieval and not to perform server side effect operations
(see HTTP standard https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-4.2.1)
- a transaction token is now required for these administrative form
submissions to ensure the request can not be included in an external
site and performed silently/by mistake by the user browser
HTTP "Referer" header sent by the browser when using YaCy can now be
controlled either with the referrer meta tag as a global policy, or only
for search result links by adding the attribute rel="noreferrer".
To improve privacy with the less possible regressions, the default is
set as meta tag with value "origin-when-cross-origin" : internal YaCy
links behavior is not affected, but when visiting external websites
referrer url is not empty but stripped from query parameters and path.
Older browsers, Safari, MS IE and Edge do not support the referrer meta
tag, so the standard but less flexible noreferrer link type can also be
enabled as an alternative.
User-friendly settings page to be implemented.
(expected scheme e.g. http, was protocol version).
Depreceate obsolete custom X-...-Scheme header constant.
Use existing FORMAT_ANSIC Dateformatter in HeaderFramework.
Correct htmlParserTest (del one not intended println)
parameters on SSI (server side includes).
Query parameters are already merged by dispatcher.include, making copy
of parameter (RequestDispatcher.INCLUDE_QUERY_STRING) obsolete.
All other parameter are not used as YaCy servlet arguments.
exclude servletPath option as resources are always relative to htroot
or htdocs, the change reflects this.
Theoretically it and the recent adjustments arcording relative urls
allows to configure the instance to be configurable in a path other as
root (/)
to the client (not cookies only). This is used by some servlets to mainly
set "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" header. Added a contains check to be
sure no header set by Defaultservlet is overwritten.
to work directly with javax.servlet.http.Cookie (rename headerProps to
cookieStore as is only used for this).
(Re)implement set-cookie in DefaultServlet to make cookieAuthentication
work as designed.
to make all readily available information from the original ServletRequest
available to YaCy servlets (without converting data to internal structures).
The implementation of the common interface allows easier integration of
YaCy servlets with the servlet standard (e.g. shared login service with
the servlet container etc.)
When the peer is behind a reverse proxy providing SSL/TLS encryption,
the rendered absolute URLs should start with https when the user browser
requested https : added limited support to the X-Forwarded-Proto HTTP
header notably provided on Heroku platform.
Also added some unit tests.
If language is set to "browser" the client/user browser language is used to choose from
available translation.
simply: one users browser speaks English -> YaCy responds in English, other users browser speaks French -> YaCy responds in French.
! To make a translation/language available you have to activate the language once !
(or manually use the utility class TranslateAll)
In ConfigBasic.html availabel translations are marked green on setting language=Browser
The client language is determined by http header Accept-Language (checked in DefaultServlet)
to save the resources and keep handler chain small if the feature is not used.
+add a warning message on settingsack_p page to restart on first activation
been differently - and wrong for several files. also: base64-encoding
for gzipped push files because our data structures currently only
supports ASCII POST pushes..
- add filename to parameter fieldname
- add filecontent to special parameter fieldname$file
(some servlets use this $file parameter)
