If a request repeats the same header name multiple times, merge the
header values into a comma separated string. Previously, only the last
header specified would be used.
For header fields that are defined as a comma-separated list, a client
may choose to send it as multiple headers instead of one header with
comma-separated values. The specification says that these are
equivalent, so we can therefore join the headers into a comma-separated
string.
This is specified at https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7230#section-3.2.2
which says:
A sender MUST NOT generate multiple header fields with the same field
name in a message unless either the entire field value for that
header field is defined as a comma-separated list [i.e., #(values)]
or the header field is a well-known exception (as noted below).
A recipient MAY combine multiple header fields with the same field
name into one "field-name: field-value" pair, without changing the
semantics of the message, by appending each subsequent field value to
the combined field value in order, separated by a comma. The order
in which header fields with the same field name are received is
therefore significant to the interpretation of the combined field
value; a proxy MUST NOT change the order of these field values when
forwarding a message.
The API for connecting to WebSockets in browsers unfortunately doesn't
support setting any Authorization header. This means that before this
commit it was impossible to connect to the API relay from a web browser.
The only thing that can be set apart from the URL is the
Sec-WebSocket-Protocol header. Therefore this allows you to send the
auth token in this header.
This is a weird way to send auth, but it seems to be the best one that
makes it possible for browsers to connect. Kubernetes also does it this
way: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/47740
Here is a post describing the different ways to make it possible for a
browser to authenticate against a websocket connection, and it also
recommends doing it this way:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4361173/http-headers-in-websockets-client-api/77060459#77060459
Note that when this header is used to pass auth, the client also needs
to specify the `api.weechat` sub protocol. This is because the client
and server have to agree on a sub protocol when this header is
specified, and in order to not send the fake protocol used for auth back
to the client, we require specifying the protocol `api.weechat`, which
the server then returns to the client. This is only necessary when the
Sec-WebSocket-Protocol header is used. If the Authorization header is
used for auth as before, nothing changes.
Detail of changes:
- the save of upgrade files in plugins is now done as soon as the "upgrade"
signal is received, and not when the plugin is unloaded (it was too late to
detect any problem and prevent the upgrade to happen)
- if the write of an upgrade file fails, the signal callback in plugin now
returns WEECHAT_RC_ERROR and WeeChat checks this code to stop the upgrade as
soon as this return code is received
- a new flag is added in plugin structure: unload_with_upgrade, it is set to 1
before unloading all plugins when upgrade will happen (all *.upgrade files
are then already successfully written).
For now the only supported flag is:
- "stop_on_error": stop execution of callbacks immediately after an
error (ie return code of callback is WEECHAT_RC_ERROR) and return this code
(by default execute all callbacks and return the last return code, or return
WEECHAT_RC_EAT immediately if a callback returns this)
Example:
hook_signal_send("[flags:stop_on_error]my_signal", WEECHAT_HOOK_SIGNAL_STRING, "test");
A performance issue was happening when buffers are moved to another position
and when the hotlist contains a lot of buffers: each time a signal
"buffer_moved" is sent, the hotlist is sorted again.
This fix delays the resort of hotlist after all the moves are done using a
timer with a very small delay (one millisecond).
Since WeeChat 4.0.0, the actions are now case sensitive and must be typed as
lower case.
This fixes the help line displayed on top of relay and xfer buffers: letters
for actions are now displayed with lower case instead of upper case.
