Hi, I'm working on a few patches to make Laconica run better inside an intranet. Some issues are with http proxies, some with Internet Explorer. I'd like to discuss the patches and/or the remaining issues with you.
(I'm working with the 0.8.0 tarball, because that's what I'm upgrading to at my company, but I'm following the changes on the 0.9.x dev branch as well.) 1. Validate::email(address, true): This appears in various places (registration, email settings, invite), but doesn't work if the http proxy blocks traffic to the internet. I *could* send emails to [email protected], but I won't get that far, because "Validate::email(true)" says company.com is not a valid domain. Patch: I'd like to replace all "Validate::email(address, true)" with common_validate_email() in util.php and make it configurable in config.php whether to use "Validate::email" with or without a domain check. 2. Notices containing URLs: Both common_shorten_url() and common_shorten_links() try to contact the outside world but run into the http proxy, which causes massive delays when adding new notices. Patch: Make it configurable to run without shortening and File_redirection. (What I'm not sure I understand from the code: What does File_redirection::makeShort() do in the first place?) 3. Valid URLs are rejected by the regular expressions: "http://someintranetserver/xy.html"; doesn't pass, neither does "http://10.129.12.34"; Patch: Be less strict in the regexes (configurable?) 4. Internet Explorer problem: When sending new notices with attachments (but not without attachments!), IE rejects the Ajax response sent by Laconica, so sending the notice never succeeds (busy animation just stays on the Send button forever). Maybe this is an IE bug, but in any case, Laconica's response is not valid XHTML according to the w3c validator (the "<li>" tag seems to require a surrounding "<ol>" or "<ul>" tag). Patch: I have no idea where to start. I have a few error messages and logs though, if anyone would like to help me debug this. I'd really appreciate any feedback that you can give. Kind Regards, M.F. _______________________________________________ Laconica-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.laconi.ca/mailman/listinfo/laconica-dev
