Add transformation from legacy items to FeedItems, before transforming
items to the desired format. This allows using legacy bridges alongside
bridges that return FeedItems.
As discussed in #940, instead of throwing exceptions on invalid
parameters, add messages to the debug log instead
Add support for strings to setTimestamp(). If the provided timestamp
is a string, automatically try to parse it using strtotime().
This allows bridges to simply use `$item['timestamp'] = $timestamp;`
instead of `$item['timestamp'] = strtotime($timestamp);`
Support simple_html_dom_node as input paramter for setURI
Support simple_html_dom_node as input parameter for setContent
* core: Add bridge parameter auto detection
This adds a new 'detect' action which accepts a URL from which an
appropriate bridge is selected and relevant parameters are extracted.
The user is then automatically redirected to the selected bridge.
For example to get a feed from: https://twitter.com/search?q=%23rss-bridge
we could send a request to:
'/?action=detect&format=Atom&url=twitter.com/search%3Fq%3D%2523rss-bridge'
which would redirect to:
'/?action=display&q=%23rss-bridge&bridge=Twitter&format=Atom'.
This auto detection happens on a per-bridge basis, so a new function
'detectParameters' is added to BridgeInterface which bridges may implement.
It takes a URL for an argument and returns a list of parameters that were
extracted, or null if the URL isn't relevant for the bridge.
* [TwitterBridge] Add parameter auto detection
* [BridgeAbstract] Add generic parameter detection
This adds generic "paramater detection" for bridges that don't have any
parameters defined. If the queried URL matches the URI defined in the
bridge (ignoring https://, www. and trailing /) an emtpy list of parameters is
returned.
This commit adds a cache for 'getContents' to '/cache/server'. All
contents are cached by default (even in debug mode). If debug mode
is enabled, the cached data is overwritten on each request.
In normal mode RSS-Bridge adds the 'If-Modified-Since' header with
the timestamp from the previously cached data (if available) to the
request.
Find more information on 'If-Modified-Since' here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/If-Modified-Since
If the server responds with "304 Not Modified", the cached data is
returned.
If the server responds with "200 OK", the received data is written
to the cache (creates a new cache file if it doesn't exist yet).
No changes were made for all other response codes.
Servers that don't support the 'If-Modified-Since' header, will
respond with "200 OK".
For servers that respond with "304 Not Modified", the required band-
width will decrease and RSS-Bridge will responding faster.
Files in the cache are forcefully removed after 24 hours.
Notice: Only few servers actually do support 'If-Modified-Since'.
Thus, most bridges won't be affected by this change.
simple_html_dom currently doesnt support "->find('*')", which is a
known issue: https://sourceforge.net/p/simplehtmldom/bugs/157/
The solution implemented by RSS-Bridge is to find all nodes WITHOUT
a specific attribute. If the attribute is very unlikely to appear
in the DOM, this is essentially returning all nodes.
This is the meaning behind
"->find('*[!b38fd2b1fe7f4747d6b1c1254ccd055e]')"
Error log reports "PHP Notice: Undefined offset: 2 in /rss-bridge/
lib/Debug.php on line 112" if the array returned by debug_backtrace
does not contain 3 items.
This commit fixes the issue by always using the last element in the
backtrace "end($backtrace)".
- Initialize with null to prevent leaking configurations
- Check if the working directory is a directory
- Store the real path instead of raw data
- Add final path separator as expected by Bridge::create
general
- Use self:: instead of Cache:: or static::
- Rename $dirCache to $workingDir
- Initialize $workingDir with null
function setDir
- Clear previous working directory before checking input parameters
- Change wording for the exception messages
- Store realpath instead of raw parameter
- Add path separator
This ensures the path always ends with the path separator, as assumed
by Cache::create
- Add check if the provided working directory is a valid directory
function getDir
- Use static parameter instead of function variable
- Change wording for the exception message
function create
- Rename parameter $nameCache to $name
- Rename $pathCache to $filePath
- Change wording for the exception messages
function isValidNameCache
- Rename function to isCacheName
- Rename parameter $nameCache to $name
- Explain in the function documentation the meaning of a 'valid name'
- Ensure Boolean return value (preg_match returns integer)
- Check if $name is a string
- Use slashes to enclose the regex
This is the first step in adding documentation to the core library
of RSS-Bridge. The documentation is not yet extracted by phpdoc,
yet may prove useful to anyone interested in starting with RSS-Bridge.
Commit e26d61e introduced a bug that causes the error message "The
bridge you [sic!] looking for does not exist." if the bridge name
specified in the query ends on "Bridge"
(i.e. '&bridge=SoundcloudBridge'), while other queries work fine
(i.e. '&bridge=Soundcloud').
This commit fixes that issue by sanitizing the bridge name before
creating the class.

- Move all whitelisting functionality inside Bridge.php
- Set default whitelist once in index.php using Bridge::setWhitelist()
- Include bridge sanitizing inside Bridge.php
Bridge::sanitizeBridgeName($name)
Bridge.php now maintains the whitelist internally.
Also adds documentation to Debug.php!
* Debug::isEnabled()
Checks if the DEBUG file exists on disk on the first call (stored in
memory for the duration of the instance). Returns true if debug mode
is enabled for the client.
This function also sets the internal flag for Debug::isSecure()!
* Debug::isSecure()
Returns true if debuging is enabled for specific IP addresses, false
otherwise. This is checked on the first call of Debug::isEnabled().
If you call this function before Debug::isEnabled(), the default value
is false.
Replaces 'debugMessage' by specialized debug function 'Debug::log'.
This function takes the same arguments as the previous 'debugMessage'.
A separate Debug class allows for further optimization and separation
of concern.
- PATH_LIB_BRIDGES defines the path to bridges
- PATH_LIB_FORMATS defines the path to formats
- PATH_LIB_CACHES defines the path to caches
Include constants in RssBridge.php for consistency
Move CACHE_DIR from index.php to /lib/RssBridge.php and change name
to PATH_CACHE.
PATH_CACHE is one of the core paths of RSS-Bridge and should therefore
be defined in the core file RssBridge.php.
- Remove file documentation and license remark (defined in repository
scope - see README / UNLICENSE)
- Remove example usage (if necessary should be included in the Wiki)
"The require_once statement is identical to require except PHP will
check if the file has already been included, and if so, not include
(require) it again."
-- http://php.net/manual/en/function.require-once.php
Vendor files (simple_html_dom.php and urljoin.php) are included in the
repository and therefore shipped with all releases. If one of the files
is missing, either the repository or the release is incomplete.
PHP will generate error messages if either of the files is missing, so
there is no need to check availability manually unless it is done for
all files (which doesn't make sense because they are part of the
repository).
Adds additional messages to the error log when fetching contents. The
data is helpful in finding issues with receiving contents from servers.

* [BridgeAbstract] Rename 'getCacheTime' to 'getModifiedTime'
* [BridgeAbstract] Move caching to index.php to separate concerns
index.php needs more control over caching behavior in order to cache
exceptions. This cannot be done in a bridge, as the bridge might be
broken, thus preventing caching from working.
This also (and more importantly) separates concerns. The bridge should
not even care if caching is involved or not. Its purpose is to collect
and provide data.
Response times should be faster, as more complex bridge functions like
'setDatas' (evaluates all input parameters to predict the current
context) and 'collectData' (collects data from sites) can be skipped
entirely.
Notice: In its current form, index.php takes care of caching. This
could, however, be moved into a separate class (i.e. CacheAbstract)
in order to make implementation details cache specific.
* [index] Add '_error_time' parameter to $item['uri']
This ensures that error messages are recognized by feed readers as
new errors after 24 hours. During that time the same item is returned
no matter how often the cache is cleared.

* [index] Include '_error_time' in the title for errors
This prevents feed readers from "updating" feeds based on the title
* [index] Handle "HTTP_IF_MODIFIED_SINCE" client requests
Implementation is based on `BridgeAbstract::dieIfNotModified()`,
introduced in 422c125d8e and
simplified based on https://stackoverflow.com/a/10847262
Basically, before returning cached data we check if the client send
the "HTTP_IF_MODIFIED_SINCE" header. If the modification time is
more recent or equal to the cache time, we reply with "HTTP/1.1 304
Not Modified" (same as before). Otherwise send the cached data.
* [index] Don't encode exception message with `htmlspecialchars`
* [Exceptions] Include error message in exception
* [index] Show different error message for error code 0
Adds a new class 'ParameterValidator' to replace the functions from
'validator.php', separating private functions from 'validateData' to
class private functions in the process.
Instead of echoing error messages, adds messages to a private variable,
accessible via 'getInvalidParameters'.
BridgeAbstract now adds invalid parameter names to the error message.
