Subject: [Sputnik-list] new copas
Message-ID: <fa4efbc00904141151v5c7b81a4mb352c0932db2200d@mail.gmail.com>

This new release of copas fixes the problem that some people had
reported, with Sputnik sometimes hanging on POST when running on
Xavante.

Note that there also was another issue related to posting: the upload
of binary files taking too long because of the inefficient handling of
base64 encoding. This has been fixed in Fenchurch.

Subject: [Kepler-Project] [ANN] Copas 1.1.5
To: Kepler Project mailing list <kepler-project@lists.luaforge.net>


Copas is a dispatcher based on coroutines that can be used by TCP/IP
servers. It uses LuaSocket as the interface with the TCP/IP stack.

A server registered with Copas should provide a handler for requests
and use Copas socket functions to send the response. Copas loops
through requests and invokes the corresponding handlers. For a full
implementation of a Copas HTTP server you can refer to Xavante as an
example.

Copas is free software and uses the same license as Lua 5.1

Copas is available at http://www.keplerproject.org/copas/

Changes:
Copas 1.1.5 [07/Apr/2009]
* Fixed bug reported by Sam Roberts on the Kepler list (found due to
Xavante locking up on some POST requests)

Copas can be downloaded from its LuaForge page or using LuaRocks:

luarocks install copas

Comments are welcome!

Andr?

Hello,

I'm doing a new install on a vanilla PCLinuxOS box.  Most of the
installation works well.  However, this:

./bin/lua -lluarocks.require -e 'require("sputnik").setup()'

gives me:

Could not create file '/path/kepler/htdocs/sputnik.ws':
/path/kepler/htdocs/sputnik.ws: No such file or directory

I checked, and I do not see "sputnik.ws" anywhere.

The previous command is this:
./bin/luarocks --only-from=http://sputnik.freewisdom.org/rocks/earth
install sputnik 8.08.13

which gives me:

Subject: [Sputnik-list] graphviz demo broken
Message-ID: <a8eddab50904141804g4cebd3f1kc228e686c862d5ae@mail.gmail.com>

Visiting http://spu.tnik.org/en/Graphviz_Demo gives me a 'pre' block, with:

XSSFilter could not parse (X)HTML:


<p><span class="teaser">
  You can use Sputnik to collaboratively edit graphs.  You do this by
storing text
  representation of the graph in the body of a node and telling Sputnik to use
  <a href="http://www.graphviz.org/">Graphviz</a> to generate image
files for you on the fly.
</span></p>

<h2>What Does This Demo Do?</h2>

<p>The Demo consists of two nodes.  This node ("Graphviz Demo") is a
regular node
used for presenting the text of the demo.  A separate node - "Raw Dot
File" - is used to
store <a href="http://www.graphviz.org/Documentation/">dot</a> code,
which is converted to SVG on the fly.
The default action for "Raw Dot File" (see <a
href='/en/Raw_Dot_File'>Raw Dot File</a>) shows the dot code.
However, we also
add several alternative actions: ".png", ".gif", and ".svg" which will
give us the PNG, GIF and SVG
representations of the graph.  You can see their respective outputs here:</p>

<ul>
    <li><a href='/en/Raw_Dot_File'>Raw Dot File</a> - the dot source</li>
    <li><a href='/en/Raw_Dot_File.png'>Raw_Dot_File.png</a> -- the
graph as a PNG file</li>
    <li><a href='/en/Raw_Dot_File.gif'>Raw_Dot_File.gif</a> -- the
graph as a GIF file</li>
    <li><a href='/en/Raw_Dot_File.svg'>Raw_Dot_File.svg</a> -- the
graph as a SVG file</li>
</ul>

<p>For PNG and GIF we can simple include the file in a different node
as we would with any
other image:</p>

<pre><code><img src="Raw_Dot_File.gif"/>
</code></pre>

<p>which would give us:</p>

<p><center>
 <img src="Raw_Dot_File.gif"/></br>
</center></p>

<p>For SVG, we'll need to embed it with the <code><object></code> tag:</p>

<pre><code><object type="image/svg+xml"
data="http://sputnik.freewisdom.org/en/Raw_Dot_File.svg" width="500"
height="600"/>
</code></pre>

<p>which gives us this:</p>

<p><center>
 <object type="image/svg+xml"
data="http://sputnik.freewisdom.org/en/Raw_Dot_File.svg" width="350"
height="600"></object>
</center></p>

<p>(The SVG image might not display in all browsers, but it's prettier
and it allows us to
hyperlink nodes - click on "start" for example.)</p>

<p>Note that this image is a wiki node.  You can <a
href='/en/Raw_Dot_File.edit'>edit</a> it.</p>

<h2>How Does this Work?</h2>

<p>First, we create a new action, which we save into
<code>~/sputnik/share/lua/5.1/sputnik/actions/graphviz.lua</code>:</p>

<pre><code>module(..., package.seeall)
require"lfs"

function dot(source, format)
    local tempfile = "/tmp/"..math.random()
    local f = io.open(tempfile, "w")
    f:write(source)
    f:close()
    local pipe = io.popen("dot -T"..format.." "..tempfile)
    return pipe:read("*all")
end

actions = {}
actions.dot2svg = function(node, request, sputnik)
    return dot(node.content, "svg"), "image/svg+xml"
end
actions.dot2png = function(node, request, sputnik)
    return dot(node.content, "png"), "image/png"
end
actions.dot2gif = function(node, request, sputnik)
    return dot(node.content, "gif"), "image/gif"
end
</code></pre>

<p>We then create a new node (<a href='/en/Raw_Dot_File'>Raw Dot
File</a>), and set "action" parameter to </p>

<pre><code>show="wiki.code" -- to avoid running the content throw markdown
svg="graphviz.dot2svg"
png="graphviz.dot2png"
gif="graphviz.dot2gif"
</code></pre>

<p>That's it.  We can now access <a href='/en/Raw_Dot_File.gif'>Raw
Dot File.gif</a></p>

either:

Good. Sounds like you ended up installing Fenchurch, which is a better
version to be using anyway.

> kepler-install-1.1.1-1 does not exist.

Thanks for pointing this out.

BTW, the plan it to switch to the Kepler-all-in-one installer
(possible a customized one) in the nearest future. This would remove
the dependency on luaforge altogether. At least for Linux, it should
be easy to do the installation without a network connection at all.

Oops. Anyway, this demo got broken by an API change, and it's really
not worth updating. It was exciting in May of 2007, but we have better
things now. And it polluted the logs with all the ajax requests.

But showing the visitor an error message is uncool, of course. So, I
just disabled it.

I fixed. Thanks for pointing it out.

It was a combination of a more aggressive version of XSSFilter (the
site is running code straight from git, so adding exceptions is a
little compicated) and the fact that the new server didn't have
graphviz installed.

I took a little bit of time to play with the Kepler-all-in-one
installer, turning it into a Sputnik's needs. This works for UNIX only
for now, but it shouldn't be too complicated to do the same for
Windows. (Any volunteers?)

The simplifies the installation process down to the following:

1. Download http://spu.tnik.org/files/sputnik-9.03.16-kaio.tar.gz (1.1MB)
2. Open it with "tar xvzf", cd into the directory
3. Create a directory somewhere where you want to install sputnik,
e.g. ~/sputnik/
4. Run "bash install.sh ~/sputnik/"
5. Go to ~/sputnik and run ./bin/sputnik.lua start-xavante

On my laptop, all of those steps together take 40 seconds. No network
connection is required apart from the initial download.

If you need the exact commands, see below.

Hi,

Just trying out Sputnik (8.08.13), and I can't seem to get a mailto link
to work in a page.  It creates HTML like <a>link</a> with no href="..."
attribute.  I've tried markdown syntax and HTML syntax.

Links to web pages work fine.

Thanks,

Hi, Allan,

Welcome to the list.

The href attribute is getting stripped by the XSSFilter. Sputnik
follows a very aggressive stance against cross-site scripting, which
is based on white-listing of things known to be ok, rather than
black-listing things known to be bad. (It doesn't matter whether the
HTML is entered directly or generated by Markdown, because the filter
is applied _after_ markdown.)

So, Sputnik only passes through valid XHTML, and within that, it only
allows certain tags, and for those only certain attributes. And
attribute values can then also be filtered. In case of a's href
attribute, the value is only accepted if it matches one of the
following patterns:

    "^http://", "^https://", "^ftp://", "^/", "#"

This can be easily extended. One way to do this, edit the
xssfilter_allowed_tags field in @Root. For example, you can allow
mailto links by adding the following to xssfilter_allowed_tags:

    a = {
        href = {"^http://", "^https://", "^ftp://", "^/", "#", "^mailto:"}
    }


In this particular case, however, filtering out mailto: is probably
just an oversight on our part. I will change the default for XSSFilter
to allow "mailto:" unless someone gives me a good reason not to.

I started a page on XSS Filtering at http://spu.tnik.org/en/XSS_Filtering.

Thanks -- that sounds like it should be easy enough, but sorry to say I
have not been able to figure out how to do this.  I tried adding this
just to the node where I want to have a mailto link, but depending on
how I did it I either got an error or no effect.  Could you explain
exactly how to add this "xssfilter_allowed_tags" field to a node?

Thanks,

Allan

No problem.

Log in as Admin, go to the page for which you want to enable this (or
its prototype), click on the cog icon in the top-right corner (between
edit and history, you will only see it when logged in as Admin). This
should take you to Page_Name.configure and will show you a large
number of fields, grouped into sections. Click on "HTML Fields" to
open that section, scroll to the bottom and look for a field called
"Tags Allowed for XSSFilter" (it should be the last field). Paste the
following into that field:

a = {
 href = {"^mailto:", "^http://", "^/"}
}

Then save. This page (and anything that inherits from it) should now
show mailto links.

Alternatively, if you are specifically looking to enable mailto liks,
you can just update your installation to use the latest version from
git (see http://spu.tnik.org/en/Source for how to do this). This will
fix the issue, since I changed XSSFilter to allow mailto by default.

Let me know how it goes.

Ah I think I have a more basic problem, then.  Logged into my site as
Admin I do not see that icon.  I tried adding the .configure action
directly to the URL for the page (the page is called "Parts") and got:

    Whoops, page Parts does not support action .configure.

I tried this on @Root and got:

    Whoops, page @Root (Root Prototype) does not support action .configure.

    _(THIS_PAGE_DEFINED_THE_FOLLOWING_ACTIONS)
    show            = "wiki.show"
    show_content    = "wiki.show_content"
    history         = "wiki.history"
    edit            = "wiki.edit"
    post            = "wiki.post"
    rss             = "wiki.rss"
    diff            = "wiki.diff"
    code            = "wiki.code"
    raw             = "wiki.raw"
    raw_content     = "wiki.raw_content"
    login           = "wiki.show_login_form"
    sputnik_version = "wiki.sputnik_version"
    save            = "wiki.save"
    preview         = "wiki.preview"
    preview_content = "wiki.preview_content"
    reload          = "wiki.reload"


Should this work in the older version of Sputnik?  I am not using
Fenchurch. I am using the version specified in the Installation
instructions (8.08.13)?

Thanks, I have a feeling this is just newbie problem stuff so I
appreciate the help until I get on my feet.

Oh, I see. Yes, that's the reason. Sorry, my mind is totally on
Fenchurch those days (which is what I am running all of my current
projects on), so I didn't think about this.

You should be able to fix this in Earth by editing
~/sputnik/rocks/xssfilter/8.07.07/lua/xssfilter.lua (put the
appropriate version number there) and adding "^mailto" to this line:

     href= {"^http://", "^https://", "^ftp://", "^/", "#"},

However, I would recommend installing Fenchurch instead. As I said
before, I still want to polish the installation process a little (like
getting rid of the rings dependency, for example) and write some more
documentation before making a proper announcement, and it's been a
really busy few months, but Fenchurch is definitely better than Earth
at this point. If anything is broken in it, it would most likely be
things that weren't offered in Earth in the first place, e.g.,
something in forums or collections.

I updated the http://spu.tnik.org/en/Fenchurch page two days ago. The
Windows section is still a little spotty, but I think it's better now
than the corresponding section for Earth. If you are on Windows, then
feedback on the installation process is particularly welcome.

Thanks, I will probably just switch to Fenchurch then, since I'm just getting started and have no commitment to the prior version.  I'm not using Windows.
