200 check-ins occurring around 006afac0f04b3167.

2019-08-23
11:49
Clarified the placement of "moderator" and "subscriber" in the power hierarchy expression within www/capabilities.md, since each could float up and down somewhat within the fixed hierarchy we give here. Also fixed a broken URL. ... (check-in: ba88f4f2 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc)
11:07
Markdown hyperlinks are only converted to links to wiki if the named wikipage actually exists. Otherwise, the link becomes a relative link. This is for backwards compatibility. ... (check-in: 3b10e644 user: drh tags: trunk)
08:31
Added www/capabilities.md, a complete treatment on user capabilities, user categories, login groups, and administration matters involving all of this. It does not replace the pre-existing admin-v-setup.md doc, but a bit of its content did move into this new doc. The new doc also contains the user capability info previously in the forum.wiki doc. This is on a branch because although it's quite useful already, it could use some work before being merged down. At the barest minimum, there are some unanswered questions in the new doc that need addressing.

This new doc does not replace the existing documentation in the UI. It may be that we end up paring that down a bit now that we have a full doc to refer to, but that is a topic for the forum thread that will appear shortly after this checkin. ... (check-in: 832f107e user: wyoung tags: caps-doc)

05:32
Fixed a few fatal error messages from the login-group command that referred to an "add" command, which is now called "join". The symptom I saw is that "fossil login-group add" complained that "add" is not a valid command and that you should give '"add" or "leave"' instead! ... (check-in: 09c65d75 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
05:22
Fixed a few messages from the login-group command that referred to an apparent older name for the "join" sub-command, "add". This lead to a confusing symptom: "fossil login-group add foo" -> {unknown command "add" - should be "add" or "leave"}. ... (check-in: 739cd872 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
2019-08-22
15:06
Stronger recommendation for changing the default user's random hex password prior to setting up a Fossil server after learning it's 6 hex digits, not 8 as I thoght when I wrote that! ... (check-in: 9fcd6e44 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
14:14
Added bullet list detailing the sources for <script nonce=""> from a Fossil server and the reasons we consider each path safe. ... (check-in: 91377ae4 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
13:31
Reworked the material explaining why in-page <style> is currently allowed by Fossil's default CSP to make it clearer that this is most likely a temporary situation and that local custom CSS should go in the skin instead. ... (check-in: 092eeebf user: wyoung tags: trunk)
13:13
Expanded the discussion of in-repo and out-of-repo resource links in defcsp.md. ... (check-in: 23fcd765 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
12:39
Reworked the new introductory material in defcsp.md to be less about the CSP as last-resort and more about being a secondary filter to our other measures. Gave examples to clarify the tensions that prevent a purely server-side solution from being a practical solution. ... (check-in: 1c4df5bf user: wyoung tags: trunk)
11:54
"RaspberryPI" -> "Raspberry Pi" ... (check-in: 5182be99 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
11:53
Assorted refinements to the new pre- and post-activation advice sections in www/server/index.html: nix passive voice, add a few details, add some links to related docs, etc. Also fixed a CSS indenting problem preventing correct use of

in

  • , then made use of the new freedom in these sections' numbered lists.

... (check-in: b5c2c9bf user: wyoung tags: trunk)
2019-08-21
19:18
Fix the $ROOT mechanism in HTML documents so that it accepts any whitespace character before href= and script=. Add $ROOT in appropriate places in the server documentation. ... (check-in: 3e183bfa user: drh tags: trunk)
18:15
Outline how to configure a repository before and after server activation. ... (check-in: 154ea087 user: drh tags: trunk)
17:37
Improvements to the althttpd documentation. ... (check-in: 44f1df9f user: drh tags: trunk)
17:21
Further improvements to the server document. ... (check-in: c2c4d303 user: drh tags: trunk)
16:57
Extra defenses against running fossil_atexit() more than once. ... (check-in: bc7683e1 user: drh tags: trunk)
16:55
Fix the "shell" command so that it avoids invoking the atexit() handler more than once. ... (check-in: 07a5a211 user: drh tags: trunk)
15:56
Server documentation updates. ... (check-in: b2426c27 user: drh tags: trunk)
14:46
Merge in recent developments on trunk. ... (check-in: 70d091ea user: andybradford tags: test-updates)
12:32
Disallow versioning of security sensitive settings tcl-setup, th1-setup, and th1-uri-regexp. For effective security, these settings should only be controllable by an administrator. ... (check-in: 2da704c5 user: drh tags: trunk)
11:26
Update to the default CSP page. Attempted to resolve merge conflicts, but more editting is likely necessary. ... (check-in: 33a7b8ba user: drh tags: trunk)
11:09
Added a header to the new XSS material in defcsp.md so we can refer directly to it. ... (check-in: 7b843f2d user: wyoung tags: trunk)
11:01
More thorough explanation of <script nonce> in www/defcsp.md, and explained the reason why Fossil has no way of providing that nonce in most content types rather than link to the "XSS via check-in rights" forum post. This new presentation of that post's ideas is more detailed and includes discussion of the feature's interaction with the TH1 docs feature. ... (check-in: 8d43bb87 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
09:40
Major improvements to the new defcsp.md article. Expanded the introductory material to better describe what the CSP does; added named anchors to headers; moved the discussion of $default_csp overrides into this document from customskin.md, which now just says how you use that variable read-only; and added an entirely new section, "Replacing the Default CSP". ... (check-in: 366b23a1 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
08:52
Replaced the redundant copy of the default CSP in skins/bootstrap/header.txt with "$default_csp", allowing the TH1 setup script to override the CSP as in all the other stock skins. (Bootstrap is the last stock skin to define a custom <head> element.) ... (check-in: 14ac2cac user: wyoung tags: trunk)
2019-08-20
19:16
Fix memcpy() compiler warnings. ... (check-in: 7ae4b1a7 user: drh tags: trunk)
16:11
Fix possible misaligned pointer to a 16-bit object. ... (check-in: f7c41be8 user: drh tags: trunk)
15:04
Updated and expanded documentation on how to set up a Fossil server. ... (check-in: f146e21a user: drh tags: trunk)
14:55
Add the --with-sanitizer option to the ./configure script. ... (check-in: 231d6933 user: drh tags: trunk)
07:01
Fixed a link punctuation bug introduced in [74a6578c]. ... (Closed-Leaf check-in: c57e1793 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
06:45
The merge from trunk accidentally reverted part of the new text in www/embeddeddoc.wiki. (This part was manually merged, and I missed a diff relative to trunk.) ... (check-in: 8976a9da user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
06:35
Missed a link to server.wiki that should have been checked in with [74a6578c]. ... (check-in: d5def0c8 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
06:34
Merged in trunk improvements ... (check-in: 42d28c02 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
06:28
Reverted src/doc.c to the trunk version. The "Plan Z" reversion in [8264fd75] was incomplete, causing bad TH1 variable expansion. I believe this explains the symptom I worked around in [9bdf650f0b8]. This check-in also cherry-picks [3d6a4fd95c] onto the branch. ... (check-in: 3cdf764c user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
06:03
Updated all of the internal hyperlinks referencing www/server.wiki to point at either www/server/index.html or one of the docs it now points at. ... (check-in: 74a6578c user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
04:57
Fixed an unwanted "$nonce" variable expansion within the new customskin.md introduced by [9044fd2dbe] which only occurs *sometimes*: not on fossil-scm.org, and apparently not in my earlier ckout testing prior to checking it in, but now in a different ckout test. This has to be a TH1 thing, but I don't understand why we didn't see this earlier. This is just a workaround for the symptom. ... (check-in: 9bdf650f user: wyoung tags: trunk)
04:34
Fixed a link from the new material in embeddeddoc.wiki to the new CSP material: that briefly lived in customskin.md before checking it in, but then I moved it to a new document and forgot to update the link. ... (check-in: f4cbfd5a user: wyoung tags: trunk)
04:24
Fixed a couple of Tcl syntax fixes that caused the new --with-sanitizer code to a) run unconditionally irrespective of the option's setting and b) to check for the existence of libubsan whether it was actually needed or not. ... (Closed-Leaf check-in: 66fdab76 user: wyoung tags: configure-updates)
04:07
Added www/defcsp.md, which documents the default Content Security Policy applied by Fossil to the HTML pages it serves. Linked that into embeddeddoc.wik and customskin.md, which touched on this topic before but didn't go into much detail. ... (check-in: 4e6d36d7 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
02:09
Fix a compiler warning in the security-audit page. ... (check-in: 3243a6c1 user: drh tags: trunk)
01:34
Added --with-sanitizer configure-time option for appending -fsanitize=VALUE to CFLAGS and LDFLAGS, plus automatic detection of -lubsan for GCC, which doesn't automatically link to that with -fsanitize=undefined as Clang does. EDIT: This check-in breaks the built on Ubuntu 18.04. ... (check-in: 7907b6ff user: wyoung tags: configure-updates)
00:41
Removed "known to work with IIS" bit from www/server/index.html in the CGI section, since that is not actually true. We can put it back once someone figures out the IIS + CGI + Fossil CPU pegging problem. ... (check-in: 8b7c17de user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
00:37
Removed documentation of the nonce="$NONCE" feature in www/embeddeddoc.wiki, removed as part of [8264fd75]. ... (check-in: d55f6b15 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
2019-08-19
23:32
Fix a broken hyperlink on the new server-docs index page. ... (check-in: 461c8f06 user: drh tags: server-docs)
19:29
Updating links in www/server/windows/stunnel.md to correct locations. ... (check-in: 65d175ae user: ckennedy tags: server-docs)
18:24
Plan Z ... (check-in: 8264fd75 user: drh tags: server-docs)
17:18
Have the security-audit page analyze and display the content security policy. ... (check-in: 9cf90a4f user: drh tags: trunk)
13:04
Increase the default HTTP request timeout to 10 minutes. Provide the FOSSIL_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT compile-time option for setting an alternative default. ... (check-in: 7979989d user: drh tags: trunk)
12:38
Added missing www/chroot.md file ... (check-in: 80cd49f0 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
12:09
Updated www/server/index.html to no longer discuss launchd as a "maybe" option now that we have a document for it, and removed mention of Solaris SMF entirely. ... (check-in: 1e6fbcf2 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
11:59
Added www/server/macos/service.md and then added macOS to the set of server OSes offered in www/server/index.html ... (check-in: e0ad4b48 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
10:22
Assorted small tweaks to www/server/windows/iis.md ... (check-in: b5fefeec user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
10:10
Small tweaks to the new "Serving as a Standalone Server on Windows" article. ... (check-in: 3995a3c7 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
09:47
Assorted small tweaks to server docs, mainly around new systemd material. ... (check-in: 9d4a4782 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
09:10
Added www/server/debian/service.md, demonstrating systemd configuration of Fossil for the first time in the official docs, both as a user serivce and in socket activation mode as a system-level service. ... (check-in: 94763aed user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
05:00
Clarity tweak ... (check-in: bc678e13 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
04:58
Grammar fix on previous ... (check-in: d5c754f9 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
04:58
Title tweak on previous ... (check-in: afc65312 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
04:57
Added www/server/windows/none.md server setup article ... (check-in: 3e55ddf7 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
03:44
Added explicit instructions on installing IIS within the new IIS server docs. It isn't installed by default, and in the CGI case, CGI isn't part of the default IIS install. ... (check-in: b2f10ad5 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
01:17
The www/customskin.md document hadn't been updated since we removed the explicit <html><head> stuff from the default skins and moved that into the C code so we could insert the CSP and such automatically. Updated it to show the inner
tags that you actually get by default now, and talked about how the HTML document wrapper is added automatically. Also fixed some spelling and grammar errors.
... (check-in: 9044fd2d user: wyoung tags: trunk)
00:51
Fix embedded HTML detection for the 'doc' web page when the 'data-title' attribute is not specified. ... (check-in: 3d6a4fd9 user: mistachkin tags: trunk)
00:30
Added links back to the top-level www/server/index.html article from the tail end of www/server/*/*.md. ... (check-in: 0f6f151d user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
00:25
Justified the ordering of sections in www/server/index.html by including info on complexity. CGI remains last because CGI is only a "simple" option when someone else sets up the CGI security for you, as on old-style cheap hosting plans. Also added several inline sub-document references. ... (check-in: 9f4121db user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
00:01
Merged the lists of socket listener daemons into the Socket Listener section of www/server/index.html: the list of known-working daemons down from the numbered list at the top of the article, and the list of potentially-working daemons up from the <noscript>-cloaked document matrix below. Also reordered the sections from simplest to most complex. ... (check-in: d9ab9c56 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
2019-08-18
10:26
Improvements to the nonce='$NONCE' substitution mechanism. ... (check-in: 1c50073d user: drh tags: server-docs)
08:52
Implemented the first version of the JavaScript tutorial chooser in www/server/index.html, complete with fallbacks for the noscript case, optional display of the static document matrix, and pretty CSS transitions between the states. ... (check-in: 0cbdbc72 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
06:20
URL fix in previous ... (check-in: a7610e42 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
06:06
Added the nonce="$NONCE" embedded documentation substitution feature and documented that and the other pre-existing text substitution features. ... (check-in: 02db05e6 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
05:20
Further refinement of the server setup tutorial matrix CSS ... (check-in: a6fee589 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
05:12
Reduced the number of columns in the server setup tutorial matrix by collapsing all of those for the OS's default web server down to a single shared column. Also dropped the xinetd column as obsolete. (We still have the explicit xinetd article link above.) ... (check-in: 3f9f1bdf user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
04:51
Moved inline CSS within www/server/index.html elements up into a <style> block at the top. Then used that to create a more even matrix layout. Also fixed some incorrect URLs checked in with the prior version, due to the document changing directory level. ... (check-in: 648574cb user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
04:41
Renamed www/server.wiki to www/server/index.html and converted it to HTML format. Did a bit of prose polishing and CSS work while in there. ... (check-in: 81932667 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
04:12
Small improvements to IIS + CGI doc ... (check-in: f7c839c1 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
03:53
Added docs for IIS + CGI server configuration. ... (check-in: 9098ebba user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
02:21
Assorted improvements to www/server/windows/iis.md. Removed the empty CGI and SCGI sections, as those will be separate articles. Added "Why Bother?" section. Added link to ./service.md. Better explanation of the /code rewriting example. Hoist TLS info up into the new "Why Bother?" section. ... (check-in: 1670e5fa user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
01:03
Capitalization fix in HTML output from /artifact_stats ... (check-in: d570edc6 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
00:59
Include forum artifact statistics on the /artifact_stats page. ... (check-in: e2f2a05e user: drh tags: trunk)
2019-08-16
18:58
Corrected the description of nginx + SCGI in www/server.wiki. ... (check-in: 0f217e89 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
18:36
Added starting version of www/server/windows/iis.md, covering only the HTTP reverse proxying case. ... (check-in: fbacfacf user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
14:25
An attempt to make the main server.wiki page simpler and yet self-contained, all at once. ... (check-in: 5bb1e112 user: drh tags: server-docs)
12:53
Moved the chroot and loadmgmt sections of www/server.wiki into separate documents. This change also adds info on /proc to the chroot doc, which was missing in its prior server.wiki form. Also reduced a few other "details" sections of server.wiki to bullet points in the new "Further Details" list at the end of the document. ... (check-in: 85eaffb6 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
11:59
Changed "socket activation" to "socket listener" in all the new docs ... (check-in: 3c9f811b user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
11:42
Markdownism fixes... ... (check-in: 1428f59e user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
11:41
Small improvements to the new Fossil Chroot Jail section of www/server.wiki ... (check-in: 4c837bc3 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
11:08
Small clarity tweak to the new "Methods" discussion in www/server.wiki. ... (check-in: fc00b7b2 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
10:27
Converted the backwards-compatibility sections in www/server.wiki into identified hyperlinks to the new docs, which allows existing external ".../server.wiki#cgi" URLs and such to work without needing the near-empty sections containing only a hyperlink just to anchor the link. ... (check-in: 0bb59100 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
10:19
Several small refinements to prior check-ins. ... (check-in: 16e3cff6 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
10:11
Moved the "Serving via althttpd" material from www/ssl.wiki to a new document, www/server/any/althttpd.md, linked from www/server.wiki. ... (check-in: 2e19fcee user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
09:55
Added some named anchors to www/server/any/stunnel.md ... (check-in: ce4b4bae user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
09:54
Moved the stunnel proxying docs from www/ssl.wiki to a new document www/server/any/stunnel.md, and pointed www/server.wiki at it. Also replaced some similar material in this branch's new www/server/windows/stunnel.md file at this generic document. Between these two changes, the generic stunnel docs now cover the reverse proxying option for the first time. (The old version used the socket activation method exclusively.) The new document also gives a more realistic configuration, showing Let's Encrypt paths and a sensible ciphersuite configuration. ... (check-in: 53b2e866 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
09:15
Split the HTTP-only parts out of www/tls-nginx.md into a new document discussing only the reverse-proxying of `fossil --scgi` to HTTP using nginx on Debian type OSes. That material is now in www/server/debian/nginx.md, which is referred to from www/server.wiki. While in there, did a bit of prose polishing on this old guide. ... (check-in: 2baa8151 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
07:13
Broke most of the contents of www/server/wiki out into a series of www/server/*.md articles that are now linked from a checkmark table in its place, which also links to the new www/server/windows/*.md files created to start this branch off. This is not purely a matter of moving prose around: there is a fair bit of improvement to the pre-existing prose as well, most notably that we now document the Fossil chroot jail requirements for the first time. (Previously, you had to go dig up mailing list or forum posts (or even RTFS!) to work out those requirements.) There's more to do on all of this; do not merge it to trunk yet. ... (check-in: fad82714 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
03:33
Relaxed the "enforcing" language around the planned change of hash policy from "auto" to "sha3" in Fossil 2.10 within section 2.8 of the fossil-v-git.wiki doc, and clarified what will actually happen with that release as compared to the current release. ... (check-in: c5461fb5 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
01:58
Merged recent spell check fixes into this branch so we don't revert any of them. ... (check-in: a9fd086f user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
01:57
Another spell check pass on www/* using a different dictionary than in the prior pass. ([79c2cb083152]) ... (check-in: 0996347d user: wyoung tags: trunk)
2019-08-15
16:16
Server Documentation Update. This ckeckin contains instructions for using Fossil as a windows service and with stunnel as an https proxy. ... (check-in: 8b7c563d user: ckennedy tags: server-docs)
2019-08-13
23:29
Additional documentation on CGI configuration options. Updates to the change log. New hyperlinks interconnecting the various documents. ... (check-in: fbc3b2f7 user: drh tags: trunk)
20:44
Remove the sigalrm_handler() function on windows builds as it is never called there. ... (check-in: 1d7afcdf user: drh tags: trunk)
20:31
Improvements to HOME search on windows, and improve the documentation of the same. ... (check-in: 006afac0 user: drh tags: trunk)
19:31
Set a default timeout on CGI requests of 300 seconds. ... (check-in: 859d6b16 user: drh tags: trunk)
14:40
Add "Forum Posts" as an option to "Activity Reports" ... (check-in: 6ada7e37 user: drh tags: trunk)
12:32
Improvements to the hyperlink description in /md_rules. ... (check-in: b8fac035 user: drh tags: trunk)
2019-08-10
23:04
Added "Forum Posts" choice to the "Activity Reports" sub section of /stat. ... (Closed-Leaf check-in: f39e47a1 user: wyoung tags: forum-post-activity-report)
18:07
Refine HOME search order on Windows to maintain backward compatibility with the previous search hierarchy. ... (Closed-Leaf check-in: c07cbcd3 user: mistachkin tags: windows-env-usage-v2)
15:34
Merge in from trunk. ... (check-in: 0f9f2e40 user: andybradford tags: test-updates)
03:44
Updated the temp file and dir location documentation in www/env-opts.md to match what the current code does. ... (Closed-Leaf check-in: 1f63724e user: wyoung tags: windows-env-usage)
03:23
Inserted %USERPROFILE% between %FOSSIL_HOME% and %LOCALAPPDATA% in the code that chooses where the user's account-wide _fossil file lives on Windows. (This is the Windows analog to the ~/.fossil file on POSIX systems.) Also updated the docs to match. ... (check-in: 15176c8a user: wyoung tags: windows-env-usage)
2019-08-09
21:08
Update the /stat page to show forum statistics. ... (check-in: 29141af7 user: drh tags: trunk)
20:56
Fixes to the new markdown hyperlink logic to handle the case there the target URL is not defined. ... (check-in: 44545eef user: drh tags: trunk)
20:15
Contributing PowerShell script Set-ChildProject.ps1. This script wraps the code for converting a project into a child project into an easy to use PowerShell script. The script should be cross platform, but was only tested on Windows 10. ... (Closed-Leaf check-in: 0b70cf6d user: ckennedy tags: windows-tools)
18:14
Enhance markdown to use the same hyperlink target resolving logic as Fossil wiki. That means that wiki page names and check-in and ticket hashes can now be used as markdown hyperlink URLs. Also enhance markdown hyperlinks so that if the display text is an empty string, the URL is used as the display text. ... (check-in: 774fb771 user: drh tags: trunk)
16:40
Two additional places where links to /markup_help are useful. ... (check-in: 5f328d9f user: drh tags: trunk)
16:37

Extracted part of section 2.1 and merged it with the entire prior content of section 2.5 in fossil-v-git as a new section, "2.2 Efficient and Effective".

Fixed fossil_strcmp() usage in cgi_init() when in JSON mode. Through some extremely serendipitous fluke, its broken usage just happened to work until a bit was removed from that function in [ec56c69f] which, purely coincidentally, caused the bug (mine, from 2011!) to start triggering when x-www-form-urlencoded forms were submitted (login/logout). Before that, the buggy block never got a chance to trigger for those forms. ... (check-in: 115a70b2 user: stephan tags: trunk)

When doing a repository list, use the first repository that has a non-zero value for the "repolist-skin" setting as the skin for the list. If the "repolist-skin" setting is 2 and if the repository list is coming from a directory scan, the omit that repository from the list. All repositories are always shown, regardless of the "repolist-skin" setting for a "fossil all ui" or "fossil all server" generated repository list. ... (check-in: 8f5399bc user: drh tags: trunk)

When to a repolist, if any of the repositories have a non-zero repolist-skin setting, use that repository as the skin for the listing. If the repolist-skin setting is 2, then omit that repository from the list for directory-scan lists, but always show all repos for a "fossil all ui" list.

Move each command-line option to their own paragraph, for consistency with the document structure in "Environment Variables and Global Options", as this seems easier to browse and search.
