implemented ad_html_security_check based on ns_parsehtml

Shorten idiom

Test template::util::is_nil

Use "ns_parsehtml" for speed and correctness when available

The new NaviServer built-in command "ns_parsehtml" is used on

several occasions in the code when available, namely in

- util_close_html_tags

- escaping disallowed HTML tags in ad_text_to_html

- util_close_html_tags

The command "util_close_html_tags" has a long history of troubles,

since it was implemented originally based on regular expressions. It

was reported in Jan 2009, that the function took on certain forums

entries 6 to 9 hours (e.g. /forums/message-view?message_id=357753) to

finish. Therefore, at this time a quick version based on tdom was

introduced, which reduced at that time the performance to 7.3

seconds. However, the tdom-based version tend to fail on invalid HTML,

so it could cover only a few cases. The new "ns_parsehtml" is more

robust and works very stable on openacs.org with the know problem

cases. Furthermore, this version is also significantly faster than the

tdom version.

Fix doc

Deprecate template::util::array_to_vars and template::util::vars_to_array: their functionality can be easily inlined by using the array command

improve spelling

Use existing api to tell whether a formfield is disabled or not and to set/unset disabled on a field, handle the case of checkboxes and select fields, where the attribute should not be set whe it is false (e.g. disabled=0 == disabled)

This fixes upstream automated tests on xowiki and xowf

Fix typo

fix bug in db_multirow_group_last_row_p

The bug showed up in bug-tracker usage of multirows,

where db_multirow_group_last_row_p was still expecting the

dict structure

Give admins the possibility to deactivate pagination actions in the answer workflow of the inclass exam.

As default the pagination actions are shown in the answer workflow.

use icanuse "ns_parsehtml" and new interface

added icanuse rule for ns_parsehtml

Give people the chance to use OpenACS with WithDeprecatedCode set to 0

When OpenACS is configured with loading of deprecated procs

deactivated, files like deprecated-procs.tcl are not

loaded. Therefore, these files should only contain code, which was

deprecated at LEAST ONE RELEASE EARLIER, such that site admins have one

release time to fix calls to deprecated code.

This change reverts in part Antonio's commit from 26 Aug 2022 which

causes errors like the following on openacs.org:

Error in include template "/var/www/openacs.org/packages/news/lib/news":

invalid command name "ad_parameter_all_values_as_list"

fix documentation

Deprecate ad_parameter_all_values_as_list: it does not provide much value and was also often use improperly

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.

Extend tmpfile filter to behave in the "old way" (default), or in strict mode e.g. tmpfile(strict), enforcing the behavior for tmpfile in Aolserver/Naviserver when a form is processed

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.

Comment WIP

Declare proc coverage

Factor the payload building behavior in util::http::post into its own proc, so that it can be reused elsewhere

Make also sure the tmpfile from the widget exists beforehand, when validating: we don't want users to "explore" our tmpdir with bogus values that just look sane

Add must_exist flag to enforce a safe tmpfile to already exist

Fixed bug in util_convert_line_breaks_to_html

The code deleted spaces around certain tags, while - according to the

documentation, only line breaks should be removed from there.

Extended regression test.

Improve doc

Revert to previous template::widget::file behavior of accepting input in a form of a list of 3 elements (e.g. without a .tmpfile in the request), but introduce validation so that we enforce all widget values to be in the proper format and the files to be "safe"

file file-procs.tcl was initially added on branch oacs-5-10.

Bring test closer to reality

Introduce security::safe_tmpfile_p checking whether a file belongs to the configured tmpfolder and respects other constraints

The plan is to use it to improve input validations
