: In revision 743163 of the Solr 4.10 example solrconfig.xml file : enableRemoteStreaming was (accidentally?) changed from "false" to true.
yeah ... that was 5 years ago. I dont remember specifically if it was an accident at the time, but the inclusion in release versions since has been intentional given the "example" nature of the file -- which is why SOLR-2397 added a very specific warning about it (starting with Solr 3.1) ... *** WARNING *** The settings below authorize Solr to fetch remote files, You should make sure your system has some authentication before using enableRemoteStreaming="true" (i don't have any links to mailing list discussions handy, but i do recall it was discussed repeatedly.) : Should I open a JIRA? Given SOLR-3619, i think it would probably be a good idea to change this to false in the new configset/data_driven_schema_configs & cofigset/basic_configs that we ship -- so yes, please open a jira for discussion ... but i don't really think it's a "security hole" or something that needs attention in a 4.10.x release. -Hoss http://www.lucidworks.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
