This bridge allows you to follow iOS/iPad application updates
directly over RSS. This allows you to get notified of an application
update even if you don't have a iDevice. This may be useful in cases
where you want to be notified of a competitor's application for eg.
I built this after I got tired of waiting for WhatsApp to push their
security release on iOS. It shows up on the AppStore 7 days later
Most of the code in RSS-Bridge uses the long array syntax.
This commit adds a check to enforce using this syntax over
the short array syntax.
All failures have been fixed.
Debian increased the minimum security level for OpenSSL from TLS 1.0
to TLS 1.2 [1] which also affects the Debian-based PHP image for Docker.
This change can break some bridges which have to connect to servers with
lower security level. Since all browsers still connect to these servers,
so should RSS-Bridge.
Note that according to [2] Mozilla, Firefox, Microsoft, Google and Apple
plan to increase the minimum security level to TLS 1.2 around March 2020.
At this time RSS-Bridge should follow the browser changes.
This commit updates the Dockerfile to automatically drop the minimum
security level back to TLS 1.0.
Based on the solution provided by @theScrabi in #1318

setInputs() currently looks if the global array defines a 'value'
for a given parameter, but that isn't supported by the API. It
needs to be 'defaultValue'.
This bridge currently takes a very long time to process
all news items on the page, when in many cases only one
or two had been added since the last check.
This commit adds a new parameter 'limit', which defines
the maximum number of items to add to the feed. This is
an optional paramter that defaults to 3.

* action: Add action to check bridge connectivity
It is currently not simply possible to check if the remote
server for a bridge is reachable or not, which means some
of the bridges might no longer work because the server is
no longer on the internet.
In order to find those bridges we can either check each
bridge individually (which takes a lot of effort), or use
an automated script to do this for us.
If a server is no longer reachable it could mean that it is
temporarily unavailable, or shutdown permanently. The results
of this script will at least help identifying such servers.
* [Connectivity] Use Bootstrap container to properly display contents
* [Connectivity] Limit connectivity checks to debug mode
Connectivity checks take a long time to execute and can require a lot
of bandwidth. Therefore, administrators should be able to determine
when and who is able to utilize this action. The best way to prevent
regular users from accessing this action is by making it available in
debug mode only (public servers should never run in debug mode anyway).
* [Connectivity] Split implemenation into multiple files
* [Connectivity] Make web page responsive to user input
* [Connectivity] Make status message sticky
* [Connectivity] Add icon to the status message
* [contents] Add the ability for getContents to return header information
* [Connectivity] Add header information to the reply Json data
* [Connectivity] Add new status (blue) for redirected sites
Also adds titles to status icons (Successful, Redirected, Inactive, Failed)
* [Connectivity] Fix show doesn't work for inactive bridges
* [Connectivity] Fix typo
* [Connectivity] Catch errors in promise chains
* [Connectivity] Allow search by status and update dynamically
* [Connectivity] Add a progress bar
* [Connectivity] Use bridge factory
* [Connectivity] Import Bootstrap v4.3.1 CSS
The current solution for titles on input boxes is not obvious to the
user as support varies between bridges. This commit adds an button to
all input boxes with titles in order to make it clear to the user that
additional information is available.
Allows getting the expected MIME type of the format's output. A
corresponding MIME_TYPE constant is also defined in FormatAbstract for
the format implementations to overwrite.
Error reporting currently takes place for each error. This can result
in many error messages if a server has connectivity issues (i.e. when
it re-connects to the internet every 24 hours).
This commit adds a new option to the configuration file to define the
number of error reports to suppress before returning an error message
to the user.
Error reports are cached and therefore automatically purged after 24
hours. A successful bridge request does **not** clear the error count
as sporadic issues can be the result of actual problems on the server.
The implementation currently makes no assumption on the type of error,
which means it also suppresses bridge errors in debug mode. The default
value is, however, set to 1 which means all errors are reported.
References #994
Bridge errors are currently included as part of the feed to
notify users about erroneous bridges (before that, bridges
silently failed).
This solution, however, can produce a high load of error
messages if servers are down (see #994 for more details).
Admins may also not want to include error messages in feeds
in order to keep those kind of problems away from users or
simply to silently fail by choice.
This commit adds a new configuration section "error" with
one option "output" which can be set to following values:
"feed": To include error messages in the feed (default)
"http": To return a HTTP header for each error
"none": To disable error reporting
Note that errors are always logged to 'error.log' independent
of the settings above.
Closes#1066
The composer file currently lacks a lot of details, especially the
"name" and "description", but also "require-dev" and "suggest" info.
This commit adds many more details to the composer file and updates
composer.lock for this repository. Technically the project is ready
to be shipped as composer package.
* 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.
* [ParameterValidator] Ensure context has all fields
Previously if a bridge had a set of parameters like:
const PARAMETERS = array(
'ContextA' => array(
'Param1' => array(
'name' => 'Param1',
'required' => true
)
),
'ContextB' => array(
'Param1' => array(
'name' => 'Param1',
'required' => true
),
'Param2' => array(
'name' => 'Param2',
'required' => true
)
)
)
and a query specifying both Param1 and Param2 was provided a 'Mixed
context parameters' error would be returned. This change ensures
ContextA in the above example would not be considered a relevant context.
* [BandcampBridge] Add band and artist feeds
This can return a limited number of the most recent releases by a band,
or a single release/album. Each release may be given a unique article ID
depending on its track list with the "Releases, new one when track track
changes" option, which should make them show up as new articles when
tracks are added or removed. Releases may also be split up to individual
articles for each track with the "Individual tracks" option.
This uses and undocumented API from the Bandcamp Android app. It's much
faster than loading and parsing the website HTML, and seems to fail less
often with more relaxed rate limits. It's still far from perfect in that
regard though.
The "Individual tracks" option generates requests for each individual
track so that can quickly run into rate limits.
The "Individual tracks" option also has a quirk where tracks released
under e.g. a music label will have their artist set to the label instead
of the actual artist of the track. This is a limitation of the API.
