will verify unknown aliases against old ones if the new identifies as a
previously recognized URI.
Steps:
1. Check the newly received URI. Who does it say it is?
2. Compare these alleged identities to our local database.
3. If we found any locally stored identities, ask it about its aliases.
4. Do any of the aliases from our known identity match the recently introduced one?
Currently we do _not_ update the ostatus_profile table with the new URI.
If we know the URI sent from the remote party, and we don't know the
notice it is replying to, we might still be able to put it in the same
conversation thread!
At the same time we change this to call ActivityUtils::checkAuthorship
instead to let the retrieval/verification go through event handling.
rozzin (Joshua Judson Rosen) found this error. Thanks.
We need to look up a feed profile for HandleFeedEntryWithProfile events,
regardless of whether they're an OStatus user, group, or something else;
this is the least hairy way of doing that--the alternative being
to keep spreading the same logic all over the calling code.
Theoretically, this change might allow OStatusGroups to be recorded
as the authors of activities if they pass through any authorless
activities; but that's why we have checkAuthorship().
Similarly to what ActivityUtils::checkAuthorship does; try to ensure
that activities from ambiguous OStatus feeds (groups and peopletags)
that require explicit authorship don't get in without explicit authors.
Lost dependency of OStatus plugin for lib/microappplugin.php, whoo!
also noting which plugins should be upgraded to new saveActivity support.
Favorite plugin won't work with the new system just yet, it doesn't have
the necessary functions to extract activity objects, but that's coming
in the next (few) commits.
saveActivity will accept an Activity which gets parsed and saved through
plugins. So when an ActivityHandlerPlugin (such as Favorite will be soon)
gets a feed to save, this will be the function called instead of saveNew.
This also fixes a problem with "initial salmon slap", which was a
problem for newly registered accounts which would have their first
salmon slap fail to distribute since there was a problem with Magicsig
keys. Apparently we have to re-read them with importKeys so the
Crypt_RSA objects publicKey and privateKey match later instances of them.
I think it may have been that generate() doesn't specify a signatureMode,
but I leave experimentation of that to the future.
There was a problem with (specifically at least) PuSHpress for
Wordpress. A previous attempt to perform a DB transaction backfired
because the remote side could connect to the callback before our
commit had gone through.
I take full responsibility for introducing the bug in the first place :)
Among other things (such as permanent subscriptions), Pubsubhubbub 0.4
removed the "sync" verification method. This means that any incoming
PuSH subscription requests that follow the 0.4 spec won't really
_require_that we handle it as a background process, but if we were to
try direct verification of the subscription - and fail - there's no way
we could pick up the ball again. So _essentially_ we require background
processing with retries.
This means we must implement something like the "poorman cron" or
similar, so background processing can be handled
on-demand/on-site-visit. This is how Friendica, Drupal etc. handles it
and is necessary for environments where we can't run separate queue
daemons.
When the poorman-cron-ish thing is implemented, auto-renewal will work
for all users.
