* Add more specific error message when request body digest is invalid
This may help other implementors debug their implementation.
* Relax Host parameter requirement to GET requests
The only POST requests processed by Mastodon need objects/actors (including
their host) to be explicitly mentioned in the request's body, so replaying
a legitimate request to another host should not be a security issue.
* Support Digest headers using multiple algorithms or lowercase alogirthm names
- Makes permalink to a toot more easily clickable
- Fix clicking between icon and time in fact clicking the display name
- Fix clicking slightly under time in fact clicking the display name
e.g. if someone on an instance that previously had followers gets mentioned
in a private toot, before this PR, they would not receive a
Collection-Synchronization header and may show the toot to the former followers
in addition to the mentioned person.
Conflicts:
- `.github/dependabot.yml`:
Updated upstream, we deleted it to not be flooded by Depandabot.
Kept deleted.
- `Gemfile.lock`:
Puma updated on both sides, went for the most recent version.
- `app/controllers/api/v1/mutes_controller.rb`:
Upstream updated the serializer to support timed mutes, while
glitch-soc added a custom API ages ago to get information that
is already available elsewhere.
Dropped the glitch-soc-specific API, went with upstream changes.
- `app/javascript/core/admin.js`:
Conflict due to changing how assets are loaded. Went with upstream.
- `app/javascript/packs/public.js`:
Conflict due to changing how assets are loaded. Went with upstream.
- `app/models/mute.rb`:
🤷
- `app/models/user.rb`:
New user setting added upstream while we have glitch-soc-specific
user settings. Added upstream's user setting.
- `config/settings.yml`:
Upstream added a new user setting close to a user setting we had
changed the defaults for. Added the new upstream setting.
- `package.json`:
Upstream dependency updated “too close” to a glitch-soc-specific
dependency. No real conflict. Updated the dependency.
* Add support for followers synchronization on the receiving end
Check the `collectionSynchronization` attribute on `Create` and `Announce`
activities and synchronize followers from provided collection if possible.
* Add tests for followers synchronization on the receiving end
* Add support for follower synchronization on the sender's end
* Add tests for the sending end
* Switch from AS attributes to HTTP header
Replace the custom `collectionSynchronization` ActivityStreams attribute by
an HTTP header (`X-AS-Collection-Synchronization`) with the same syntax as
the `Signature` header and the following fields:
- `collectionId` to specify which collection to synchronize
- `digest` for the SHA256 hex-digest of the list of followers known on the
receiving instance (where “receiving instance” is determined by accounts
sharing the same host name for their ActivityPub actor `id`)
- `url` of a collection that should be fetched by the instance actor
Internally, move away from the webfinger-based `domain` attribute and use
account `uri` prefix to group accounts.
* Add environment variable to disable followers synchronization
Since the whole mechanism relies on some new preconditions that, in some
extremely rare cases, might not be met, add an environment variable
(DISABLE_FOLLOWERS_SYNCHRONIZATION) to disable the mechanism altogether and
avoid followers being incorrectly removed.
The current conditions are:
1. all managed accounts' actor `id` and inbox URL have the same URI scheme and
netloc.
2. all accounts whose actor `id` or inbox URL share the same URI scheme and
netloc as a managed account must be managed by the same Mastodon instance
as well.
As far as Mastodon is concerned, breaking those preconditions require extensive
configuration changes in the reverse proxy and might also cause other issues.
Therefore, this environment variable provides a way out for people with highly
unusual configurations, and can be safely ignored for the overwhelming majority
of Mastodon administrators.
* Only set follower synchronization header on non-public statuses
This is to avoid unnecessary computations and allow Follow-related
activities to be handled by the usual codepath instead of going through
the synchronization mechanism (otherwise, any Follow/Undo/Accept activity
would trigger the synchronization mechanism even if processing the activity
itself would be enough to re-introduce synchronization)
* Change how ActivityPub::SynchronizeFollowersService handles follow requests
If the remote lists a local follower which we only know has sent a follow
request, consider the follow request as accepted instead of sending an Undo.
* Integrate review feeback
- rename X-AS-Collection-Synchronization to Collection-Synchronization
- various minor refactoring and code style changes
* Only select required fields when computing followers_hash
* Use actor URI rather than webfinger domain in synchronization endpoint
* Change hash computation to be a XOR of individual hashes
Makes it much easier to be memory-efficient, and avoid sorting discrepancy issues.
* Marginally improve followers_hash computation speed
* Further improve hash computation performances by using pluck_each
* Change how CDN_HOST is passed down to make assets build reproducible
* Change webpacker/webpack configuration to dynamically load publicPath based on meta header
* Fix embedded layout missing the cdn-host meta header
