Facebook has changed their strategy regarding permalinks, which
now include lots of unnecessary target data. Fortunately it also
contains the unique story id which we can utilize as URI.
* Clarify Facebook bridges status
Distinguish between both Facebook bridges by their title.
This preserves all existing URLs.
* Update all URLs to secure HTTPS versions.
* Configure author name abbreviation
* Improve feed names
Use the correct feed name on each bridge.
Make sure the feed names don't repeat the "Facebook" name.
* [FacebookBridge] Prevent sending empty header
When running in CLI mode, `getEnv('HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE')` returns `false`. In that case, don't send the `Accept-Language` header.
This reverts commit 052844f5e1.
There is a bug in ->remove() that causes the parser to incorrectly
identify elements in the DOM tree that shouldn't exist anymore.
References #1151
simplehtmldom 1.9 introduced new functions to recursively remove
nodes from the DOM. This allows removing elements without the need
to re-load the document by using $html->load($html->save()), which
is very inefficient.

https://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.io/docs/1.9/api/simple_html_dom_node/remove/
This commit adds filters to remove embedded videos and view counts from
all posts. This doesn't remove the preview image for videos, which are
embedded separately.
Hidden elements are used for error conditions and generally made
visible using JavaScript. Since RSS-Bridge doesn't support JS, these
error messages are shown in the final feed. For example:
"It looks like you may be having problems playing this video. If so,
please try restarting your browser."
This commit removes all hidden elements to prevent error messages being
added to the feed.
- "It looks like you may be having problems playing this video. If so,
please try restarting your browser."
FB includes origin information (i.e. "YOUTUBE.COM") as well as
descriptions with embedded media (images and video).
These details are currently being removed by the bridge.
This commit changes implementation to only remove origin information
and keep the media description in place. The media description consists
of two elements - title and description. The title provided by FB is
included in an anchor, which gets replaced by a paragraph with the
same contents to improve readability.

This commit collects the original contents from a different
tag to prevent this issue. The root cause is unknown but closely
related to the regex.
References #877
The function 'defaultLinkTo' applied to the source HTML does break
regex matches later in the bridge. We need to apply the function
right before adding the contents to the item for the bridge to work
properly.
References #856
This commit adds a new optional parameter 'limit' which can be used
to limit the number of items returned by this bridge (i.e. '&limit=10')
As requested in #669
The URI "https://facebook.com/username?_fb_noscript=1" returns two
posts per user. Some profiles, however, are very active, causing the
bridge to miss items if more than two posts are send within the cache
duration (5 minutes).
The alternative suggested in #669 is to use a different URI:
"https://facebook.com/pg/username/posts?_fb_noscript=1"
While the contents of this URI essentially look the same when viewed
in a browser, it actually returns more than 10 posts depending on the
profile.

The previous context is now labeled 'User', while the new context is
labeled 'Group'. The existing code was not changed, instead new group*
functions were implemented to handle groups.
The general principle of capturing groups is the same as done for users
with adjustments to account for different HTML structures.
Captcha responses are currently not supported for groups! There doesn't
seem to be a way to trigger them consistently, which makes it hard to
handle them properly.
Features of the group context:
- The feed title is based on the group name
- The group URI used for capturing is returned for the feed URI
- Author names and timestamps are reproduced from the source
- Post titles are reproduced from the source if they exist, otherwise
the title is build manually from the author name and the content
- Original contents are included with the feed
- All images are attached as enclosures as well
Closes #
Allows users to paste facebook links as user name. The link must contain
the correct host (www.facebook.com) and a valid path (/user-name/...).
The first part of the path is used for the user name. Errors are returned
in case something went wrong.
References #706
Reviews are provided the same way as summary posts and therefore returned
as separate feed item for each review. This commit adds a new option
'&skip_reviews=on' to skip reviews entirely.
References #706
Requesting a username with a leading slash would cause error 500
because the requested URI would contain two slashes in a row.
For example username "/test" would result in:
https://facebook.com//test
References #628
All formats except HTML return & instead of & in URLs causing
all links with parameters (...&id=...) to break.
Facebook does not return valid HTML URIs but instead provides them
with all special characters encoded (like using htmlspecialchars).
This seems to be related to the page being build almost entirely of
script blocks.
This commit adds htmlspecialchars_decode() to URI and content to
reverse the encoding.

This replaces the 'novideo' parameter with 'media_type' in order
to filter for specific content types. Currently supported:
- 'all': Returns all posts (default)
- 'video': Returns only posts including videos
- 'novideo': Returns only posts that don't include videos
References #553
This adds a new option 'novideo' that can be set to 'on' or 'off'
in order to skip posts that include facebook videos (does not work
for linked videos like YouTube). This option is 'off' by default.
References #533
If no accepted languages are specified Facebook will guess your
language. This guess can go horribly wrong if your server does not
provide origin information.
This adds a context header with language information when retrieving
page contents. The accepted languages are read from the list of
accepted languages specified by the web browser of the requester.

Previously summary posts were ignored which resulted in the last
two posts not showing up in the feed (the latest two are shown in
the summary post).
Now summary posts are treated like regular posts, returning them
as part of the regular feed.
