Removed the Checker service, removed checker results storage (both in-memory
and the tiny stub of sqlite-based storage). Added ICheckable, all
check/verify is now done by calling the check() method on filenodes and
dirnodes (immutable files, literal files, mutable files, and directory
instances).
Checker results are returned in a Results instance, with an html() method for
display. Checker results have been temporarily removed from the wui directory
listing until we make some other fixes.
Also fixed client.create_node_from_uri() to create LiteralFileNodes properly,
since they have different checking behavior. Previously we were creating full
FileNodes with LIT uris inside, which were downloadable but not checkable.
when rendering a directory in webish, if the url did not correctly include
a trailing slash '/' then the browser will be redirected to a url which
does. this causes any relative links (e.g. the 'other representations'
which are links to files relative to the current directory) to be correctly
intrpreted as relative to the directory in question by the browser.
uses twisted's addSlash mechanism, which is designed for this purpose :-)
Jake Edge tried Tahoe out and didn't notice the /status page. Hopefully with this new organization people like he will see that link more easily. This also addresses drewp's suggestion that the controls appear above the list of servers instead of below. (I think that was his suggestion.) I also reordered the controls.
not status instances. Fix this. The symptom was that following a link like
'up-123' that referred to an old operation (no longer in memory) while an
upload was active would get an ugly traceback instead of a "no such resource"
message.
Now upload or encode methods take a required argument named "convergence" which can be either None, indicating no convergent encryption at all, or a string, which is the "added secret" to be mixed in to the content hash key. If you want traditional convergent encryption behavior, set the added secret to be the empty string.
This patch also renames "content hash key" to "convergent encryption" in a argument names and variable names. (A different and larger renaming is needed in order to clarify that Tahoe supports immutable files which are not encrypted content-hash-key a.k.a. convergent encryption.)
This patch also changes a few unit tests to use non-convergent encryption, because it doesn't matter for what they are testing and non-convergent encryption is slightly faster.
using sibpath to find web template files relative to source code is functional
when running from source environments, but not especially flexible when running
from bundled built environments. the more 'orthodox' mechanism, pkg_resources,
in theory at least, knows how to find resource files in various environments.
this makes the 'web' directory in allmydata into an actual allmydata.web module
(since pkg_resources looks for files relative to a named module, and that module
must be importable) and uses pkg_resources.resource_filename to find the files
therein.
* rename my_private_dir.cap to root_dir.cap
* move it into the private subdir
* change the cmdline argument "--root-uri=[private]" to "--dir-uri=[root]"
Unfortunately although it passes the unit tests, it doesn't work, because the unit tests and the implementation use the "encode params into URL" technique but the button uses the "encode params into request body" technique.
* use new decentralized directories everywhere instead of old centralized directories
* provide UI to them through the web server
* provide UI to them through the CLI
* update unit tests to simulate decentralized mutable directories in order to test other components that rely on them
* remove the notion of a "vdrive server" and a client thereof
* remove the notion of a "public vdrive", which was a directory that was centrally published/subscribed automatically by the tahoe node (you can accomplish this manually by making a directory and posting the URL to it on your web site, for example)
* add a notion of "wait_for_numpeers" when you need to publish data to peers, which is how many peers should be attached before you start. The default is 1.
* add __repr__ for filesystem nodes (note: these reprs contain a few bits of the secret key!)
* fix a few bugs where we used to equate "mutable" with "not read-only". Nowadays all directories are mutable, but some might be read-only (to you).
* fix a few bugs where code wasn't aware of the new general-purpose metadata dict the comes with each filesystem edge
* sundry fixes to unit tests to adjust to the new directories, e.g. don't assume that every share on disk belongs to a chk file.
