Zooko O'Whielacronx	5476f67dc1	storage: remove the storage server's "remote_cancel_lease" function ... We're removing this function because it is currently unused, because it is dangerous, and because the bug described in #1528 leaks the cancellation secret, which allows anyone who knows a file's storage index to abuse this function to delete shares of that file. fixes #1528 (there are two patches that are each a sufficient fix to #1528 and this is one of them)	2011-09-12 15:23:31 -07:00

Zooko O'Whielacronx	b7683d9b83	drop-upload: rename the 'upload.uri' parameter to 'upload.dircap', and a couple of cleanups to error messages. refs #1429 ...

Brian Warner	25bee8ade6	update NEWS and other docs in preparation for 1.8.0rc1 ... in particular, merge the various 1.8.0b1/b2 sections, and remove the datestamp. NEWS gets updated just before a release, doesn't need to precisely describe pre-release candidates, and the datestamp gets updated just before the final release is tagged Also, I removed the BOM from some files. My toolchain made it hard to retain, and BOMs in UTF-8 don't make a whole lot of sense anyway. Sorry if that messes anything up.	2010-08-06 01:02:28 -07:00

Francois Deppierraz	496802420e	Fix handling of correctly encoded unicode filenames (#534) ... Tahoe CLI commands working on local files, for instance 'tahoe cp' or 'tahoe backup', have been improved to correctly handle filenames containing non-ASCII characters. In the case where Tahoe encounters a filename which cannot be decoded using the system encoding, an error will be returned and the operation will fail. Under Linux, this typically happens when the filesystem contains filenames encoded with another encoding, for instance latin1, than the system locale, for instance UTF-8. In such case, you'll need to fix your system with tools such as 'convmv' before using Tahoe CLI. All CLI commands have been improved to support non-ASCII parameters such as filenames and aliases on all supported Operating Systems except Windows as of now.	2010-05-19 17:43:56 -07:00

Brian Warner	768c76aa5f	webapi: use t=mkdir-with-children instead of a children= arg to t=mkdir . ... This is safer: in the earlier API, an old webapi server would silently ignore the initial children, and clients trying to set them would have to fetch the newly-created directory to discover the incompatibility. In the new API, clients using t=mkdir-with-children against an old webapi server will get a clear error.	2009-10-25 18:13:21 -07:00

Brian Warner	ef1b6ae8e3	Tolerate unknown URI types in directory structures. Part of #683. ... The idea is that future versions of Tahoe will add new URI types that this version won't recognize, but might store them in directories that we *can* read. We should handle these "objects from the future" as best we can. Previous releases of Tahoe would just explode. With this change, we'll continue to be able to work with everything else in the directory. The code change is to wrap anything we don't recognize as an UnknownNode instance (as opposed to a FileNode or DirectoryNode). Then webapi knows how to render these (mostly by leaving fields blank), deep-check knows to skip over them, deep-stats counts them in "count-unknown". You can rename and delete these things, but you can't add new ones (because we wouldn't know how to generate a readcap to put into the dirnode's rocap slot, and because this lets us catch typos better).	2009-07-02 18:07:49 -07:00

Zooko O'Whielacronx	970edc5c65	setup and docs: various improvements to setup and docs ... Remove docs/install-details.html and README.win32 for now (see #282). Remove checks for pywin32 and pyopenssl in Makefile -- that is (or will be) automated by setuptools. Remove twisted from setup_requires. This causes the problem in which Nevow doesn't declare its dependency on Twisted (#440) to yield a clear ImportError mentioning Twisted and to fail repeatedly, rather than yielding a weird ImportError and working on the second identical attempt. Fix Makefile to set PATH so that trial and twistd can be found by "make test" after Twisted was installed into support/ during "make"	2008-06-05 13:55:05 -07:00

Brian Warner	151f69d9b5	webapi.txt: overhaul documentation. API changes are as follows: ... * download/upload localdir=/localfile= has been removed. This sort of ambient authority was unsafe to expose over the web (CSRF), and at some point soon we'll have 'cp -r' in the CLI to replace it. * GET save=filename -> GET filename=filename&save=true * GET t=download removed * side-effect causing operations now use POST where appropriate, not PUT * to create multiple directories, either use * POST /uri/DIRCAP/parent?t=mkdir&name=child (more form/browser oriented) * POST /uri/DIRCAP/parent/child?t=mkdir (more machine oriented) The t=mkdir-p form is still accepted, but not preferred (since it leaks the child name queryarg into the logs) * use PUT /uri/MUTABLEFILECAP or PUT /uri/DIRCAP/child (on a mutable file) to replace its contents, or POST /same?t=upload from forms * response bodies and codes are better specified than before	2008-05-19 12:47:46 -07:00

Zooko O'Whielacronx	7b2ca46b35	docs: use "127.0.0.1" instead of "localhost" ... Unfortunately there are occasionally configurations in the real world where "localhost" does not resolve to 127.0.0.1, and if a user has such a configuration then using 'localhost' could lead to an authority leak.	2008-04-17 20:45:34 -07:00
