To be honest, this is a huge patch that changes tons of stuff and probably
should have been broken up into small changes. But I already had the codebase
not building, so... just did all of this at once :P
Basically this patch does the following:
- DB migrations for ticket dependency related tables, e.g. allowing a remote
author and a remote child
- Allowing S2S handlers to provide an async continued processing function,
which is executed and the result then added to the debug page
- Most UI and functionality related to ticket deps is disabled, new
implementation being added gradually via ActivityPub
- Improvements to AP tools, e.g. allow to specify multiple hosts for approved
forwarding when sending out an activity, and allow to specify audience of
software-authored activities using a convenient human-friendly structure
- Implementation of S2S sharerOfferDepF which creates a dependency under a
sharer-hosted ticket/patch and sends back an Accept
FedURIs, until now, have been requiring HTTPS, and no port number, and DNS
internet domain names. This works just fine on the forge fediverse, but it
makes local dev builds much less useful.
This patch introduces URI types that have a type tag specifying one of 2 modes:
- `Dev`: Works with URIs like `http://localhost:3000/s/fr33`
- `Fed`: Works with URIs like `https://dev.community/s/fr33`
This should allow even to run multiple federating instances for development,
without needing TLS or reverse proxies or editing the hosts files or anything
like that.
Until now, there were some simple host checks when verifying the HTTP sig,
meant to forbid hosts that are IP addresses, local hosts, and maybe other weird
cases. These checks moved to Network.FedURI, so now FedURIs in general aren't
allowed to have such hosts. The host type is still `Text` though, for now.
Using a dedicated type allows to record in the type the guarantees that we
provide, such as scheme being HTTPS and authority being present. Allows to
replace ugly `fromJust` and such with direct field access.
This is a lot of code, better save now than sorry later when something
gets deleted by mistake.
Either way, the code will move later - once tested and organized
properly - into its own package.
