89d2e1ac57 webapi.txt: some editing, and remove the localfile feature and the manifest feature
My motivation to remove these features is as per:

http://allmydata.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2007-August/000067.html

However, I haven't heard back from Brian yet, so I'm actually going to put them back in the next patch so that I can compare the two versions of webapi.txt side by side.

f207f4a199 webish.py: disallow slashes in POSTed filenames. Closes #75. 2007-07-16 11:53:12 -07:00

d65d02fa58 add a 'rename' button to the webish dir view
alongside the 'del' button is now presented a 'rename' button, which takes
the user to a new page, the 't=rename-form' page, which asks ther user for
the new name of the child and ultimately submits a POST request to the dir
for 't=rename' to perform the actual rename i.e. an attach followed by a
delete of children.

72fc8c5cb8 web: use real JSON instead of the fake stubs
Also include the encoder portion of Bob Ippolito's simplejson-1.7.1 as
allmydata.util.json_encoder . simplejson is distributed under a more liberal
license than Tahoe (looks to be modified BSD), so redistributing it should be ok.

b06c74c2a1 Add the 'vdrive' service, for clients to access the public/private root dirs.
These allow client-side code to conveniently retrieve the IDirectoryNode
instances for both the global shared public root directory, and the per-user
private root directory.

d19d1058e0 extirpate all references the "queen" and "metatracker"
This is a potentially disruptive and potentially ugly change to the code base,
because I renamed the object that serves in both roles from "Queen" to
"IntroducerAndVdrive", which is a bit of an ugly name.

However, I think that clarity is important enough in this release to make this
change.  All unit tests pass.  I'm now darcs recording this patch in order to
pull it to other machines for more testing.
