In this way, if the browser sends a list of preferred languages via
Accept-Language HTTP header, Etherpad will honor that.
Before this change, Etherpad always forced on the user the language from
padOptions.lang in settings.json.
This reverts a feature that was introduced in 295672f598.
If Etherpad is hosted on Windows the frontend test URI needs to be
/tests/frontend/index.html (docs say .../frontend/), otherwise there is this
error: ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS.
Fixes#3804.
This is a departure from previous versions, which did not limit import/export
requests. Now such requests are ALWAYS rate limited. The default is 10 requests
per IP each 90 seconds, and also applies to old instances upgraded to 1.8.3.
Administrators can tune the parameters via settings.importExportRateLimiting.
Importing to a pad is allowed only if an author has a session estabilished and
has already contributed to that specific pad. This means that as long as the
user is on the pad (via the browser) then import is possible.
Note that an author session is NOT the same as a group session, which is not
required.
This setting does not apply to API requests, only to /p/$PAD$/import
This change of behaviour is introduced in Etherpad 1.8.3, and cannot be
disabled.
For some weird reason, these seem to be part of the original swagger
implementation but tests assume they're turned off.
Perhaps a difference between /rest and /api?
- Tests pass ✅
- Added openapi-backend hook
- Generating OpenAPI v3 definitions for each API version
- Definitions served /api/openapi.json /api/{version}/openapi.json
The mechanism used for determining if the application is being served over SSL
is wrapped by the "express-session" library for "express_sid", and manual for
the "language" cookie, but it's very similar in both cases.
The "secure" flag is set if one of these is true:
1. we are directly serving Etherpad over SSL using the native nodejs
functionality, via the "ssl" options in settings.json
2. Etherpad is being served in plaintext by nodejs, but we are using a reverse
proxy for terminating the SSL for us;
In this case, the user has to be instructed to properly set trustProxy: true
in settings.json, and the information wheter the application is over SSL or
not will be extracted from the X-Forwarded-Proto HTTP header.
Please note that this will not be compatible with applications being served over
http and https at the same time.
The change on webaccess.js amends 009b61b338, which did not work when the SSL
termination was performed by a reverse proxy.
Reference for automatic "express_sid" configuration:
https://github.com/expressjs/session/blob/v1.17.0/README.md#cookiesecureCloses#3561.
The "io" cookie is created by socket.io, and its purpose is to offer an handle
to perform load balancing with session stickiness when the library falls back to
long polling or below.
In Etherpad's case, if an operator needs to load balance, he can use the
"express_sid" cookie, and thus "io" is of no use.
Moreover, socket.io API does not offer a way of setting the "secure" flag on it,
and thus is a liability.
Let's simply nuke it.

Do not touch vendorized files (e.g. libraries that were imported from external
projects).
No functional changes.

Currently the version is exposed in a 'Server' http headers.
This commit allows to parameterize it in the settings. By defaults it is
not exposed.
Fixes#3423
`getPadAccess()` (src/node/padaccess.js) is now "promise only", resolving to
`true` or `false` as appropriate, and throwing an exception if there's an
error.
The two call sites (padreadonly.js and importexport.js) updated to match.
Use real `async` instead of async.js where applicable.
The `getPluginTests()` function was never truly async anyway because it only
contains calls to synchronous `fs` modules.
This change is only cosmetic. Its aim is do make it easier to understand the
async changes that are going to be merged later on. It was extracted from the
original work from Ray Bellis.
To verify that nothing has changed, you can run the following command on each
file touched by this commit:
npm install uglify-es
diff --unified <(uglify-js --beautify bracketize <BEFORE.js>) <(uglify-js --beautify bracketize <AFTER.js>)
This is a complete script that does the same automatically (works from a
mercurial clone):
```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -eu
REVISION=<THIS_REVISION>
PARENT_REV=$(hg identify --rev "${REVISION}" --template '{p1rev}')
FILE_LIST=$(hg status --no-status --change ${REVISION})
UGLIFYJS="node_modules/uglify-es/bin/uglifyjs"
for FILE_NAME in ${FILE_LIST[@]}; do
echo "Checking ${FILE_NAME}"
diff --unified \
<("${UGLIFYJS}" --beautify bracketize <(hg cat --rev "${PARENT_REV}" "${FILE_NAME}")) \
<("${UGLIFYJS}" --beautify bracketize <(hg cat --rev "${REVISION}" "${FILE_NAME}"))
done
```
Until Etherpad 1.7.5, process.on('SIGTERM') and process.on('SIGINT') were not
hooked up under Windows, because old nodejs versions did not support them.
This excluded the possibility of doing a graceful shutdown of the database
connection under that platform.
According to nodejs 6.x documentation, it is now safe to do so. This allows to
gracefully close the DB connection when hitting CTRL+C under Windows, for
example.
Source: https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v6.x/api/process.html#process_signal_events
- SIGTERM is not supported on Windows, it can be listened on.
- SIGINT from the terminal is supported on all platforms, and can usually be
generated with <Ctrl>+C (though this may be configurable). It is not
generated when terminal raw mode is enabled.
