* Fix follow/unfollow buttons on public profile
- Present non-logged users with web+mastodon:// URLs for remote accounts
- Present logged-in users with appropriate links (authorize_follows and
remote_unfollows) for remote accounts
* Do not cache rendered cards if user is logged in
* Keep list of blocked domains
Might be overkill, but I'm trying to follow the same logic as for blocked users
* Add basic domain block UI
* Add the domain blocks UI to Getting Started
* Fix undefined URL in `fetchDomainBlocks`
* Update all known users' domain_blocking relationship instead of just one's
Up until now, the order seemed to be in the *opposite* order,
which caused the WebUI to populate mentions in reversed order
when replying to toots local to one's instance.
* Add button to unblock blocked accounts from their profile
* Add “Blocked” badge in place of “Follows you” when the user is blocked
* Add “Muted” badge (below “follows you” badge)
Since 872a0d5bd8, assets URL are absolute and
not relative. Unfortunately, the domain used to build such URLs is the wrong
one: LOCAL_DOMAIN, and not WEB_DOMAIN, where the assets are stored.
Currently, Mastodon will retry delivering toots for a bit over 1 hour.
This is a very short timespan when considering private and direct toots, which
cannot be seen by the recipient at all after the delivery attempts have failed.
Ideally, private and direct toots should have a different number of retries,
but I do not know how to do that.
* Don't normalize URLs in toots
URL normalization is ill-defined and may cause certain links to break.
* Change specs since we are not normalizing user-provided URLs
* Allow HTTP caching of json view of public statuses
HTML views are not cached as they can contain private statuses as well
* Disable session cookies for ActivityPub json rendering of public toots
* Make host_meta/webfinger replies cacheable (fixes#6100)
Drop common code for handling users and sessions as webfinger queries
are very basic, public APIs.
Also explicitly mark results as cacheable with “expires_in”.
* Add “Vary: Accept” header for caching since content-negociation is used
Deleted users are technically suspended, but the code displaying their status
in the admin interface was broken and displayed a javascript object holding
translations of the possible user roles instead.
* Add test for temporary account resolving failures in ProcessMentionsService
* Fix processing of mentions to already-known remote accounts on temporary failures
Thread resolving is one of the few tasks that isn't retried on failure.
One common cause for failure of this task is a well-connected user replying to
a toot from a little-connected user on a small instance: the small instance
will get many requests at once, and will often fail to answer requests within
the 10 seconds timeout used by Mastodon.
This changes makes the ThreadResolveWorker retry a few times, with a
rapidly-increasing time before retries and large random contribution in order
to spread the load over time.
* Work around Twidere and Tootdon bug
Tootdon and Twidere construct @user@domain handles from mentions in toots based
solely on the mention text and account URI's domain without performing any
webfinger call or retrieving account info from the Mastodon server.
As a result, when a remote user has WEB_DOMAIN ≠ LOCAL_DOMAIN, Twidere and
Tootdon will construct the mention as @user@WEB_DOMAIN. Now, this will usually
resolve to the correct account (since the recommended configuration is to have
WEB_DOMAIN perform webfinger redirections to LOCAL_DOMAIN) when processing
mentions, but won't do so when displaying them (as it does not go through the
whole account resolution at that time).
This change rewrites mentions to the resolved account, so that displaying the
mentions will work.
* Use lookbehind instead of non-capturing group in MENTION_RE
Indeed, substitutions with the previous regexp would erroneously eat any
preceding whitespace, which would lead to concatenated mentions in the
previous commit.
Note that users will “lose” up to one character space per mention for their
toots, as that regexp is also used to remove the domain-part of mentioned
users for character counting purposes, and it also erroneously removed the
preceding character if it was a space.
* Resolve remote accounts when mentioned even if they are already known
This commit reduces the risk of not having up-to-date public key or protocol
information for a remote account, which is required to deliver toots
(especially direct messages).
* Do not add mentions in private messages for remote users we cannot deliver to
Mastodon does not deliver private and direct toots to OStatus users, as there
is no guarantee the remote software understands the toot's privacy. However,
users currently do not get any feedback on it (Mastodon won't attempt delivery,
but the toot will be displayed exactly the same way to the user).
This change introduces *some* feedback by not processing mentions that are
not going to be delivered. A long-term solution is still needed to have
delivery receipts or at least some better indication of what is going on, but
at least an user can see *something* is up.
This commit reduces the risk of not having up-to-date public key or protocol
information for a remote account, which is required to deliver toots
(especially direct messages).
Remote ActivityPub users that have never been known as OStatus users
(whether or not they support it) will not have a “remote_url” attribute
set. In case they reside on an instance with WEB_DOMAIN ≠ LOCAL_DOMAIN,
the current check did rely on “remote_url” to verify the user's domain.
The whole point of verified_webfinger? is to check the WebFinger-discoverable
URI maps back to the known author URI. This was not actually verified if the
first Webfinger request was not a redirection.
* Return sensible HTTP status for ActivityPub inbox processing
* Return sensible HTTP status for salmon slap processing
* Return additional information to debug signature verification failures
* Fix ActivityPub handling of replies when LOCAL_DOMAIN ≠ WEB_DOMAIN (#4895)
For all intents and purposes, `local_url?` is used to check if an URL refers
to the Web UI or the various API endpoints of the local instances. Those things
reside on `WEB_DOMAIN` and not `LOCAL_DOMAIN`.
* Change local_url? spec, as all URLs handled by Mastodon are based on WEB_DOMAIN
* Whenever a remote keypair changes, unfollow them and re-subscribe to them
In Mastodon (it could be different for other OStatus or AP-enabled software),
a keypair change is indicative of whole user (or instance) data loss. In this
situation, the “new” user might be different, and almost certainly has an empty
followers list. In this case, Mastodon instances will disagree on follower
lists, leading to unreliable delivery and “shadow followers”, that is users
believed by a remote instance to be followers, without the affected user
knowing.
Drawbacks of this change are:
1. If an user legitimately changes public key for some reason without losing
data (not possible in Mastodon at the moment), they will have their remote
followers unsubscribed/re-subscribed needlessly.
2. Depending of the number of remote followers, this may generate quite some
traffic.
3. If the user change is an attempt at usurpation, the remote followers will
unknowingly follow the usurper. Note that this is *not* a change of
behavior, Mastodon already behaves like that, although delivery might be
unreliable, and the usurper would not have known the former user's
followers.
* Rename ResubscribeWorker to RefollowWorker
* Process followers in batches
* Add dependency on idn-ruby to speed up URI normalization
* Use normalized_host instead of normalize.host when applicable
When we are only interested in the normalized host, calling normalized_host
avoids normalizing the other components of the URI as well as creating a
new object
TagManager.local_url? was sometimes called with an URI with a nil host,
leading to a crash in TagManager.local_url?. This fixes moves the
already-existing uri.host.blank? check in front to avoid this case.
Steps to reproduce the original issue:
1. Have two remote accounts, A that you don't follow, and B that you follow.
2. Have A post a toot and reply to it.
3. Boost A's reply from remote account B.
This used to cause the local instance to get A's reply but fail to link it to
the original post.
* Try fixing ThreadResolveWorker calls
From my understanding of ActiveRecord, a transaction is commited as soon as
the exit of the outmost ActiveRecord.transaction block. However, inner
transaction blocks will exit without the transaction being commited.
In this case, ThreadResolveWorker were fired *within* a transaction block,
so moving the call out of it should do the trick. However, this is somewhat
fragile, as this whole codepath could be called within yet another transaction.
* Set status thread within the transaction block if it is immediately available from database
* Add additional documentation and warnings to the WEB_DOMAIN setting.
This feature is largely undocumented, and quite a number of users have
shot them in the feet already despite the warning. Added a bit of documentation
and expanded the warning until we have a mechanism for dealing with conflicting
user URIs.
* Change WEB_DOMAIN comments to point to the extensive online documentation
This provides a hotfix for outbound salmon requests to other Mastodon instances
as they currently will try to resovle user@WEB_DOMAIN instead of user@LOCAL_DOMAIN
(see #2012 and #20312).
Furthermore, this should ease transition from users switching from
LOCAL_DOMAIN = WEB_DOMAIN to another LOCAL_DOMAIN when WEB_DOMAIN does not change.
* Refresh local info for remote accounts when webfinger returns new values
It only refreshes account info if one of the URLs or the public-key changes,
in which cases it refreshes the full info, re-downloading the feeds from that
user.
Some special handling should probably be done when the public key changes,
but I have been unable to find any use for it in Mastodon yet.
* Re-fetch remote users we aren't subscribed to.
This might induce performance issues, we might want to only do that for users
we explicitly attempted to subscribe but failed to.
* Refactor changes
* Do not refresh existing remote account details more than once a day
* Avoid re-fetching webfinger info in tests unless otherwise specified
* Allow running mastodon on a different domain as the one used for identifying users
* Alter documentation of WEB_DOMAIN to make clear it shouldn't be used unless the admin knows what they are doing
* Compare to web_domain instead of local_domain when dealing with feeds/API
* Correctly identify mentions to local accounts
Mentions URLs point to the person's web profile, i.e., the user page served on WEB_DOMAIN.
The goal of this change is to enhance Mastodon's handling of remote domains
for which the APIs reside on a different host (see issue #1032).
Indeed, when a remote user unknown to Mastodon is mentionned, only its profile
URL (e.g. https://social.example.org/users/User) is known, and Mastodon has to
build a @username@domain handle for it. To do so, Mastodon fetches the user's
atom feed (e.g., https://social.example.org/users/User.atom) and uses its
content to get the username part of the handle, and the URL's host part to
build the domain (e.g., @User@social.example.org). This handle is then used
for a Webfinger request.
In the case where example.org serves the Webfinger info for @User@example.org
and all feeds and APIs are hosted at social.example.org, Mastodon will still
build @User@social.example.org and fail at resolving the account's details
through Webfinger.
This patch changes this behaviour by using the author's email address from
the atom feed to build the handle. In Mastodon-generated atom feeds, the
email address is always the handle it expects for federation.
