Also ensure authentication is not lost by Digest timeout when navigating
between index.html and search results page.
This way, running searches with extended features on a remote peer or a
password protected peer works with a regular user (with "Extended
search" rights).
When authenticating on the search page with a user without "Extended
search" rights, it appears as authenticated, but has just its usual
access to the public search features.
Otherwise, when authenticated as admin and navigating from search
results or admin pages to the search start page (/index.html), if
nothing is done on that page within HTTP Digest Auth timeout (about
2mn), then search is performed without authentication and so without
extended search features.
Thus allowing a more convenient way (wihout the need to go to the admin
section) to login when searching on your remote or password protected
peer and benefit from extended search features such as Heuristics,
Bookmarking or JavasScript resorting.
Can be disabled using the ConfigSearchPage_p.html.
This is a fix for mantis 766 ( http://mantis.tokeek.de/view.php?id=766 )
Since the upgrade to Digest authentication, access to protected search
features was indeed disabled once the Digest nonce timed out.
After Digest auth timeout the browser no more sent authentication
information and as the search results page is not private, protected
features were simply be hidden without asking browser again for
authentication.
Adding a supplementary parameter when accessing the search results as
authenticated fixes this.
- 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.
- using a icon-only admin button at small and medium screen size
- using a icon-only "Search Interfaces" button at small screen size
- hiding the YaCy brand at extra-small screen size
Fixes the header part of mantis 708
(http://mantis.tokeek.de/view.php?id=708).
Navigator button overlapping is still to fix.
Upgraded the following JavaScript libraries dependencies :
- bootstrap-switch to 3.3.2
- html5shiv to 3.7.3 and switched to minified version
- typeahead to 0.10.5
- jQuery to 1.12.4
Removed unused bootstratp-rtl.css and bootstrap-rtl.min.css.
Tested non regressions on the following systems :
- Debian Jessie :
- Firefox 45.4.0
- MS Windows 10 :
- Chrome 54.0.2840.99
- Firefox 50.0
- Edge
- Emulated IE 11, 10 and 9

servlet and moved it to a new /IndexExport_p.html servlet. This servlet
is now more prominent linked in the main menu under Production -> Index
Export/Import
not point to youtube directly to prevent that the referer to the peer
address is given to youtube. Instead, a forwarder address at yacy.net is
used to redirect to the tutorial repository (and can be changed later).
- remove verify=cacheonly from admin screen search box to use the configured values
(otherwise definition overwrites configured behavior and is used for following searches what might give unexpected/confusing different results compared to using /yacysearch )
advanced settings to a top-menu entry. Moved the advanced setting to a
less prominent place of the submenu. Removed the table administration
from target analysis submenu because it appeared double, the table
administration is now the default in the system administration.
Sorry for inconvenience if i constantly move menues around, but this
makes just more sense and YaCy is still not finished :)
