Previously, Introducers always used a swissnum of "introducer", so
anyone who could learn the (public) tubid of the introducer would be
able to connect to and use it. This changes new Introducers to use the
same randomly-generated swissnum as clients and storage servers do, so
that you absolutely must learn the introducer.furl from someone who
knows it already before you can connect.
This change also moves the location of the file that stores
introducer.furl from BASEDIR/introducer.furl to
BASEDIR/private/introducer.furl, since that's where we keep the private
things. The first time an introducer is started with the new code, it
will move any existing BASEDIR/introducer.furl into the new place.
Note that this will not change the FURL of existing introducers: it will
only affect newly created ones. When you change an introducer's FURL,
you must also update all of the nodes (clients and storage servers)
which connect to it, so upgrading it to an unguessable one isn't
something we should do automatically.
The move webapi function now takes a target_type argument which lets it
know whether the target is a subdirectory name or URI. This is an
improvement over the old system in which the move handler tried to guess
whether the target was a name or a URI. Also fixed a little docs
copypaste problem and tweaked some line wrapping.
This adds "move file" capability to the web UI's directory display. The
support and test framework is heavily based on the similar "rename file"
feature. Unit tests and documentation are included. Multiple in-progress
versions of this patch may be found in ticket 1579. This version
includes arbitrary URI target support and is compatible with the change
from tahoe_css to tahoe.css.
Add an explicit recommendation of SFTP over FTP. Separate the known issues of
FTP from SFTP. List "SFTP" first in all lists of the two. Use unicode bullet
points and prepend a utf-8 BOM. Use out-of-line rst hyperlinks.
* fix tahoe.cfg control of default mutable type
* tolerate arbitrary case in [client]mutable.format value
* small docs improvements
* use get_mutable_type() as a format-is-mutable predicate
* tighten up error message
Two different people have asked me for help, saying they couldn't figure out what a "rootcap" is. Hopefully just calling it a "cap" will make it easier for them to find out from the other docs what it is.
I rerecorded this patch, originally by David-Sarah, to use "darcs replace" instead of editing to do the renames. This uncovered one missed rename in Client.init_drop_uploader. (Which also means that code isn't exercised by the current unit tests.)
