This provides initial infrastructure for decoupling display names from internal canonical names, but continues to have us storing and using the canonical forms.
It should be/become possible to provide mixed-case and underscore-containing names in links, @-mention, !-group, etc, but we don't store those alternate forms generally.
Tested working so far:
* Firefox 3.6 and 4.0 (FileReader -> data URL)
* Chrome 8 (createObjectURL; FileReader also works)
Tested with limited support:
* Safari 5.0.3 (no preview, but we can show type and size)
Tested and known not to support FileAPI, keeps current behavior:
* Opera 11 beta
* add some sanity checking: abort on failures instead of plodding through
* add some progress / error output
* fetch the target database server name from the status_network entry and use that to target the DROP DATABASE
Note that database names and other overrides in status_network entry may still not be seen.
Most annoying error case being where the notice was already faved or deleted on Twitter! :)
Such errors will now just fail out and log a note to the syslog -- the rest of what we were doing will continue on unhindered, so you can still delete, favorite, etc and it just won't sync the info over in that case.
max_id is not yet implemented, as it'll need support added to the search backends. (since_id we get 'for free' by just cropping off the list, it'll do for now)
Code was doing a batch call to $avatar->delete() which fails to properly engage the file deletion code. Calling the existing profile->delete_avatars() function deletes them individually, which makes it all work nice again.
- "To" drop-down list now defaults to showing "Select recipient:" instead of the first person on your list, reducing liklihood of accidentally sending a message to the wrong person.
- When there are no mutual subscribers to send to, instead of an empty list the list now shows 'No mutual subscribers.'
In both cases, attempting to send when the default is selected displays an error message.
I'm not disabling form elements in part because our themes right now don't show disabled button state correctly; we might want to tighten that up a bit more once fixed.
The Meteor realtime plugin sets document.domain to the common prefix between the main server and the Meteor server's hostnames, which overrides the same-origin controls on JavaScript DOM access so the two parts of the app can speak to each other.
This unfortunately causes "fun" side effects for XMLHTTPRequest access to the main domain... if the new domain doesn't match the actual host (eg 'status.net' instead of 'brion.status.net') then we can't access the XHR's responseXML attribute, which holds a DOM tree of the parsed XML return data.
As a workaround, if we can't get at the contents there, we'll parse a fresh DOM tree in the local context from the responseText property, which remains available.
In the longer term, recommend retooling the realtime stuff so it's not fiddling with document.domain. It could also be an issue as it could allow local JavaScript XSS attacks to migrate to subdomains in other open windows.
