After doublechecking two identities so that they match (like one that was
previously http:// but now is https://) we update the URI in our database
to match.
This has to be verified so it's not easy to fool our script and thus make
us replace legitimate URIs with fake ones. I believe the callback method
is safe, but I'm not sure how well it handles HTTP MITM attacks etc.
It seems to have caused a problem with at least an older codebase of
remote GNU social sites, but either way we shouldn't present the user
as aliased on an insecure connection if there is no real reason to.
The 'created' column in ostatus_source SQL table has NOT NULL restriction.
INSERTs fail when running MySQL/MariaDB in strict mode if this is not
populated.
This fixes an issue where INSERTs in HubSub fail if MySQL/MariaDB is
running in "strict mode" since the default lease time in
PushHubAction::subunsub is null.
Permanent subscriptions have been removed in PuSH v0.4, but they are
being kept here for backward-compatibility with previous GS/SN versions.
as a bonus we've fixed several FIXME issues for favorite email notification
and updated parts of the codebase for these activities to a more modern style.
Calling serverError with a clientError status code (4xx) means it will
automatically default to Internal Server Error (500) which is in the
server error status code range (5xx). That is undesirable.
If you accidentally deleted a remote user's avatar from filesystem,
it'd take until its URL was updated that you got it back. Now it
happens if the local avatar file doesn't exist.
So far we only trust i.ytimg.com for YouTube thumbnails, but you can
configure the Oembed plugin in config.php by setting the plugin's class vars:
addPlugin('Oembed', array('param'=>'value', ...));
Some might think this is a security risk or privacy invasive, but as the Oembed
script is already calling remote sites to get information _about_ linked media,
the way to stop it is to disable the Oembed plugin. However it is not certain
it has been migrated out into a plugin properly yet. But try it if you want to.
