- 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
Because curl and wget do not let use a hashed password as parameter,
YaCy shell scripts which require authentication are now interactive by
default when HTTP Digest is the only available authentication method.
Batch mode can still be available trough the use of an environment
variable : YACY_ADMIN_PASSWORD.
Other improvements :
- added backward compatibility for Basic Authentication
- fixed curl/wget presence detection
- do not return with exit code 0 when an API call failed, and print an
error message when the case occurs
- documented available authentication options for API calls
