tmpfile page contract filter reform:

do not allow acs-subsite TmpDir parameter to define where the tmpfolder is located anymore. This MUST be the one configured in the server-wide configuration. Tmpfiles cannot be in a subfolder of the tmpfolder, they MUST be direct children instead. A tmpfile MUST exist beforehand and be owned, be readable and writable by the user running the nsd process. This complies with the definition of a tmpfile by AolServer/NaviServer when they are created to store content coming from a file upload.

Reimplement ad_page_contract_filter_proc_tmpfile using security::safe_tmpfile_p

Some of the features implemented by this filter have been ported into the api, namely the possibility to fetch the valid temp folders from the subsite TmpDir parameter and the possibility to relax the check and allow also files deeper in the tmpfolder hierachy.

Notably, the hardcoded tmpfolders "/var/tmp" and "/tmp" have NOT been ported. One should configure these values via the many available options. security::safe_tmpfile_p is also more restrictive when a file exists, because it checks for ownership and read and write permissions on the file.

Deactivated script-dynamic again

activating "script-dynamic" for script-src prevents resources as the following from loading

<script type="text/javascript" src="/resources/xowiki/bootstrap-treeview/1.2.0/bootstrap-treeview.min.js" nonce="F8843D5CD542FB1CDB4C94C5D13C4E5ECC2E1DCA">

Properly escape "<" and ">" in api-doc documentation.

Since all documentation is rendered via HTML, the characters

"<" and ">" have to be HTML-quoted, otherwise strange things

(omission, unintended renderings) might occur.

E.g. the sentence

Define an interface between a page and an

ADP <include> similar to the page_contract.

was rendered as

Define an interface between a page and an

ADP similar to the page_contract.

which is incorrect.

new API call ::security::csp::add_static_resource_header

The API call set the CSP rule on the current connection for a static

resource depending on the MIME type.

# Sample definition for custom CSP rules for static files in the

# OpenACS configuration file.

# ns_section ns/server/$server/acs {

New feature: cookie namespaces

So far, all OpenACS versions used "ad_" as a prefix for cookies (such

as ad_login, ad_session_id, ...). In certain situations this can lead

to confusion, since cookies are managed by browsers via domain names,

and running multiple OpenACS instances in the same domain will cause

overwriting of such cookies by these instances. The can happen e.g.

when running multiple instances on the same machine, or using

port-forwarding to virtual machines/containers, using reverse proxies,

etc. Note that the cookie overwriting problem does not exist for

host-node-mapped subsites, since host-node-mapping depends on domain

names.

One could consider using the port in the cookie name (as

sometimes noted as an option), but this would not work, in case the

same server should be reachable over multiple ports.

Therefore, one can now specify a "CookieNamespace" in the OpenACS

configuration file, which is per default "ad_", which is sufficient

for the majority of installations. In cases, where it is needed, a

different CookieNamespace can now be configured.

To manage the cookie names internally, OpenACS provides a new API call

security::cookie_name to derive the namespaced cookie name from a stem.
