Re: [Catalyst] utf8 on c-res-write or c-res-print

You shouldn’t need this unless you have actual utf8 characters (rather than
escapes) in your source code.
my $fh = $c-res-write_fh;
my $test = \x{41f}\x{440}\x{43e}\x{431}\x{430};
utf8::encode($test);
You probably actually want Encode::encode(‘UTF-8’, $test);
$fh-write($test);

Hello,

Right, you can’t do that :)
If you try to use the raw write interfaces you have to send bytes not
characters (and so need to encode your utf8 character strings).
$c-res-print ( ... )
and
$c-res-write( ... )
line by line.
However it dies with
Wide character in syswrite at . IO/Handle.pm line 474
Any ideas how can utf8 be written to response?
E.g. set binmode on output handle. Cannot find how.
Using Catalyst Runtime 5.90042.
This is not what you want to do.
The handle is already binary - just you’re not writing binary to it, you’re
writing characters (and perl does not know how to translate those characters
into bytes).

Re: [Catalyst] Implementing Webhooks.
My take on this is to log things into ZeroMQ (via Message::Passing), and route them to Message::Passing::Output::WebHooks - the code for that output might not be as bullet proof as you’re looking for, but it should be a reasonable starting place. I’d probably go right ahead and implement the timeout in that output for a first take - you’d lose anything which was waiting in a retry interval as and when you restarted the hook server, but that would presumably be very infrequently, and if you had _lots_ of timeouts, it could use a lot of RAM.. But depending upon that scale / relaibility you actually need both of these things might be just fine.

Some requests trigger a callback to a user-provided URL -- a webhook. Obviously, it's best to do those asynchronously and not in-process. Don't want a web request (or really an Apache process) hanging while waiting on an external web server to respond. A queue is probably the best approach, but there's also some advantage of having the Catalyst app make the webhook request -- specifically because the Catalyst app has the context of the request and has application logging available. How would you implement this? How would that change if you wanted more than just fire-and-forget? For example, if you wanted to provide some kind of retry interval for failed callbacks.

[Catalyst] Re: [Catalyst-dev] Trouble with ProxyPass
Hi Jillian.
You wanted the Catalyst list, not the dev list - the dev list is for the
development of Catalyst itself :)

Hello,
I'm having trouble getting my application running under ProxyPass using
Apache. I'm not entirely sure if it my worries lie in catalyst or
apache. I do have another application (not catalyst) which uses
proxypass with the exact same SSL config and its fine.
It will display pages fine, but when I go to submit a form I get the
following:
Although this page is encrypted, the information you have entered is to
be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be read by a
third party.
This is as URIs in your form are being generated as http://, not https://
Are you sure you want to continue sending this information?
This is what my apache config looks like:
ProxyRequests On
ProxyVia On
ProxyReceiveBufferSize 16384
Location /
ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:3000/
ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:3000/
SetEnv force-proxy-request-1.0 1
SetEnv proxy-nokeepalive 1
SSLRequireSSL
SetHandler perl-script
RequestHeader set X-URL-SCHEME https
You want:
RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-HTTPS ON
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
/Location
I have $c-config-{using_frontend_proxy} = 1.
And also this setting to get Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxy loaded (see the
source code for that for the why I think you need the other header)
My application works fine if I just do localhost:3000, and it also works
fine when I run it as a fastcgi application. I do not get the security
warning when running either under development or fastcgi.
I am looking into using the proxypass option solely for development. I
am working on an application that uses very big data and log into a
virtualbox for it. I have several file locations that are references to
urls.
Alias /bigdata /data/share/web_public/bigdata
Directory /data/share/web_public/bigdata
AllowOverride All
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
/Directory
So I need something happening with apache I think. Is there anyway to
get Catalyst to alias those paths for me?
Yes! You can do that quite easily :)
If you make a controller responsible for those paths, then you can just use the
static file plugin to serve them.. E.g.
package MyApp::Controller::BigData;
use Moose;
use namespace::autoclean;
BEGIN { extends 'Catalyst::Controller' }
sub bigdata: Chained('/') Args {
my ($self, $c, @path) = @_;
# This method comes from Catalyst::Plugin::Static::Simple
$c-serve_static_file('/data/share/web_public/bigdata/' . join('/', @path));
}
I've just mashed this out on the bus - so debugging/fixing will surely be
needed - but something fairly close to this should work!
I have really been making my head explode over this, and help would be
very appreciated!!!
Good luck! If you're still struggling then hopping on irc and asking for help
could be your best (fastest) way to resolve.
Cheers

[Catalyst] IMPORTANT SECURITY FIX: Catalyst-Authentication-Store-LDAP v1.013
Hi Catalyst-Authentication-Store-LDAP version 1.013 (only) contains a major security hole. If you are using this module (at this version) then you MUST upgrade. To see if you have a vulnerable version installed, run the following command: perl -MCatalyst::Authentication::Store::LDAP\ 999 Catalyst::Authentication::Store::LDAP version 999 required--this is only version 1.014, DATA line 741. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted, DATA line 741. If the version number in the error message is = 1.012, then you are NOT vulnerable If the version number in the error message is = 1.013, then you are ARE vulnerable - you MUST upgrade. If the version number in the error message is = 1.014, then you are NOT vulnerable If you are not using the LDAP store in any of your applications (but just have it installed), then you are not vulnerable, although I strongly recommend upgrading anyway in case you do start using this module at a later time. The fixed version has only been uploaded in the last few mins. If you want to upgrade before this hits a mirror site near you, then you can install the tar ball directly by saying: cpanm http://pause.perl.org/incoming/Catalyst-Authentication-Store-LDAP-1.014.tar.gz Or, if you don't have cpanm installed, you can say: curl -L cpanmin.us | perl - -- http://pause.perl.org/incoming/Catalyst-Authentication-Store-LDAP-1.014.tar.gz or, of course, download the file manually and install with the usual perl Makefile.PL make install Cheers t0m ___ List: Catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/

Re: [Catalyst] Backlog for proposed changes in next Catalyst release
Turning it into a role and making it optionally be applied would be a nice to have (i.e. so people could turn it off if needed). It working seamlessly with apps which already use the (old) plugin is a *must* have (but to be fair - maybe we can just filter U::P::U::Encoding out of the plugin list if there, and break hard if old C::P::Unicode is found?) Does anyone have a strong opinion on this being added to their app by default? Does anyone have an app which needs you to NOT load the unicode plugin? Speak now, or you're gonna have a bad time :) I'm all for this, and I'm feeling that our strategy of doing obsessive backwards compatibility has hurt us in the past. If you're not doing unicode right, your app is _broken_, and you need to fix it - if that stops you upgrading, then so be it. If anyone cares enough to say this should make it 6.0, that's also cool.

My question is: in this 'end' method, how can I determine what the response
status is going to be (i.e. 200, 302, etc.),
As you will have set that already, so you can just call $c-res-status to
retrieve it.
and if the response is a redirect how can I get at the redirection location?
Again, you'll have set it already - i.e. it'll be retrievable from
$c-res-headers if you need it.
What's the use-case here? Generally for a 200 you need to render a template,
and for a 302 you don't want to (as there is no body), and the RenderView
action class handles these default cases automagically.
This (generally) means that you don't need to get these values back - why do
you think you need to / what are you trying to achieve?
Also, what does it mean if $c-stash-{template} is undef at this point?
Maybe :)
You can explicitly set this, or you can let it default (in _some_ views) - it
depends on your app.

My current setup is Apache front-end server with 2nd app-server running CatalystFastCGI app. I intend to build Comet server on app-server as well. Any idea how can I achieve that? Just also run Twiggy, and direct comet traffic to the twiggy instance on your front end apache.. The checking authorisation part for one user will block the server - but that's ok really, as this is quick (I mean, it's quick in FCGI, right?) and the comet connections are, by their nature, long lived - so you don't make too many of them (i.e. there are lots of idle connections - which is why you're using an async server, but these connections are long lived - the actual act of connecting is rare). Until you have 1000s of concurrent users, you're unlikely to be doing enough re-connections to notice - and when you are, just balance connections across multiple copies of Twiggy with mod_proxy_balancer.

This needs to be inside the following block

C::M::Tutorial says otherwise
http://search.cpan.org/~zarquon/Catalyst-Manual-5.9004/lib/Catalyst/Manual/Tutorial/03_MoreCatalystBasics.pod#Create_a_Catalyst_View
Sorry, but you're wrong.
The tutorial says:
Edit lib/MyApp/View/HTML.pm and you should see something similar to the
following:
The OP says: As per the tutorial I’ve added the following to the config
section of MyApp.pm
So, the OP has done something totally different to what the tutorial says, and
thus it will behave differently.
If he moves that line to inside the View (as the tutorial suggests), it'll work.
If he moves it to inside the 'View::HTML' block in MyApp.pm, thus namespacing
it into the appropriate component, it'll work.
Where it is right now - it will be ignored.

Thank you so, so much, I would never have found that switch buried in the documentation for a long, long time! As this is standard behaviour for IIS, Catalyst really should be setting this by default when it's running under IIS. I didn't realise Catalyst had missed this, otherwise I probably could have answered the op's question from the start. The option is on by default in generated skeleton apps, and has been for quite a while (at least 2 years). However we can't set it by default as it breaks back compat (see the extensive explanation of the different strategies for path resolution one can employ next to the option). This should be done at the Plack middleware level IMO - I.e. there should be middleware to synthesise a sane PATH_INFO - this is generic to anything that uses PATH_INFO (not just Catalyst), and it's where / how we already apply all of this conditional logic. I'd +1 a patch to add a middleware for this (to Plack). IIS also doesn't have the pwd as the folder where the script is running. So you usually need to do: use FindBin qw ($RealBin $RealScript); use lib $FindBin::RealBin; chdir $RealBin; Otherwise you get issues when people try to open files with a relative path. This is normal in other web servers also. Doing that is broken, we provide $app-path_to so you don't ever have to do that.

How is it broken?
Because, as much as possible, code should attempt to separate concerns.
The pwd should be the responsibility of the web server layer, not a dependency
of your application component.
Standard daemonization techniques include a chdir('/') step
which is always going to ruin relative paths.
Your application precluding your web stack from being a daemon is a pretty big
ask, no?

[Catalyst] [ANNOUNCE] Catalyst-Runtime 5.90017
I'm very happy to announce the latest release of Catalyst-Runtime.
This release contains a number of small improvements to enable extensibility,
and a bug fix.
Full changelog below as always.
Cheers
t0m
5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
- Change Catalsyt _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute
handler.
e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained = 'foo', PathPart = 'bar' }
Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
- In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
- Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
of request or response classes.

By the way, I wonder if it wouldn't be cleaner to use _build_request instead of a builder for the args. In this case might have to completely override _build_request to inject in the cache -- or make the cache rw so that it can be set after _build_request. No, and the explicit reason it's not cleaner is that 'rw' - would that we could change things so that the request object was constructed in it's final immutable form! Seems like giving the request the app as an attribute would be a bad idea, but not clear what that is. :) Too much coupling! App has a request has an app - ARGH. I've been struggling a bit with hierarchy of classes where I need to pass child construction params down to child constructors. I've added parent attributes to the child classes, manually passed args (as you are doing here), and even had separate config objects that I pass around. Haven't found anything that I'm that fond of. You should inject _just_ the dependencies that the class in question needs, having explicitly broken them out. Passing the app down makes the app a 'god object'. Why would you care? Well, Say you want to persist most session data into the DB, but you're happy with progress bars being in memcache - if you pass the cache explicitly to the request you can do this trivially, if you pass the entire $c or $app down to the request, you cannot do this at all. Hope this helps!

Now that I have this implemented I'm seeing why a work queue system

I quickly use up all the child processes, and simply adding more children
process will not scale.
My thought is to implement a hybrid work queue Run after Request (RaR)
system. Where the work queue contains the closures that would
normally be handed to RaR.
Why? I mean, you need very minimal info here - you need to persist a 'work to
do' thing to the DB, just log that to a message queue (where something picks it
up later).. The message is very minimal, like { type = Job::FooBar, id =

Much simpler and easier + lower coupling - the stuff that implements the job
can change independently of the app.

Thanks Tim. Yes, I know that but then the other two realms will fail
and that's the point of progressive. I want to call one -authenticate
which tries all the realms I've defined in progressive_oauth.
Regrettably, the docs for the Password realm saith:
NOTE If the password_field is something other than 'password', you
must be sure to use that same field name when calling
$c-authenticate().
I'd call that a bug, personally - it certainly isn't intuitive that
you can specify the field to use, but then have to remember it in all
your calls to authenticate().
Not much can be done about that, though. Maybe someone can produce an adaptor?
I don't disagree that it's confusing, however it _is_ intentional, as you can
pass an arbitrary hash of data into $c-authenticate for the auth info
(allowing you to do lookups on the values of multiple fields).
What happens is that the configured 'password_field' is _removed_ by the
Password credential when it calls the 'find_user' method, and then the
remaining fields are passed to the store to lookup a user with - this allows
you to say $c-authenticate({username = $u, password = $p, is_admin = 1});
For example.
Patches to improve the documentation would be welcome, of course! :)

Silly or sane?
What you want / need is to be able to re-map the auth-info in some way before
(or at the time of) the call to $realm-find_user
I'd suggest that C::Authentication::Realm be patched to support a
'authinfo_mangle' config key, which would look something like this:
{
add = {
some_key = 'some_value',
},
remove = [qw/ some_other_key /],
rename = {
from_field_name = 'to_field_name',
}
}
This would allow you to add/remove/rename arbitrary fields that were passed
into $c-authenticate({}); - this would solve the issue in a generic way, right?

I am continuing on my journey to duplicate a web app for administering a db.

different web app to get the settings for our LDAP server.
//Connect to ldap server
$ds=ldap_connect(xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx);

password_field = 'password',
password_type = 'self_check',
},
You don't want self_check here I don't think.
store = {
binddn = username,
bindpw = password,
class = 'LDAP',
ldap_server = '9.17.186.253',
ldap_server_options = { timeout =
30 },
user_basedn = 'o=domain, o=com',
Original code has:
ou=ldap.server, o=domain.com
as the base? (Although a base higher up the tree should be fine)
user_field = 'mail',
user_filter =
'((mail=%s)(objectclass=person))',
You're searching more restrictively than the PHP code.
Try just 'mail=%s'
user_scope = 'sub',
},
},
},
},
);
They are apparently doing the initial bind with the credentials submitted by
the user, I am getting invalid credentials the way I have it above, if I
change it to anonymous I get a LDAP Error while searching for user: No such
object. I could use some suggestions.
You can turn on LDAP debugging and get a print out of what is actually going to
= from the LDAP server, which would help determine which query specifically
is failing..

I could use some suggestions. I dealt with an LDAP server that required you to login to query your own information. The standard Catalyst::Authentication::Store::LDAP does not work with this model. Yes it does! What makes you think it doesn't? So I wrote a credential module that did nothing more than connect to the LDAP server. If the connection succeeded, then that user is authenticated. That sort of strategy is usually a bad idea, as you're mandating that you have 1 flat level of LDAP for users - you have to know the DN to bind as initially, and so if you do this, you have to concatenate the username to a DN in some way - which means if you ever reorganise your LDAP (for example putting users into grouped OU containers), then your auth will stop working.

Re: [Catalyst] LDAP question
Your quoting and HTML mail settings are really broken!
You are not quoting anyone else's email, but just changing it's font - which
means that anyone using a text mail client without fonts can't see the quoting..

I cannot find anything out there on turning on LDAP debugging? Strangely, if
I out my username and password in the bind fields it gives me Invalid
credentials. I authenticate through this ldap server many times a day, so I'm
almost sure it's some setting that is wrong.
I'm sure some setting is wrong too!
But it's going to be hard to guess which one without knowing what error code
gets returned, to what query!
The debugging bit isn't as obvious as I remember it being, sorry about that:
https://metacpan.org/module/Catalyst::Authentication::Store::LDAP#ldap_server_options
so you want to set: ldap_server_options = { debug = 3 } # Incoming and
outgoing packets

[Catalyst] [ANNOUNCE] Catalyst-Runtime 5.90012
Hi
I'm pleased to announce the latest maintenance release of Catalyst::Runtime,
5.90012.
This release fixes issues with the upcoming perl 5.16.0, and has various other
small fixes and documentation improvements.
Full change log is below as always.
Cheers
t0m
5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
Distribution META.yml changes:
- author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
mis-parses from the documentation.
- x_authority key added.
Bug fixes:
- Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
- Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
is less than helpful.
- Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
in bleadperl. RT#76437
- Work around Moose bug RT#7536 which breaks
Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
Documentation:
- Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self-{} hash
directly.
- Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self-config
- Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
- Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710

Re: [Catalyst] How to sudo using the Authentication plugin
On 11 May 2012, at 17:45, Robert Rothenberg wrote:
We're working on an application with a lot of users, and where the passwords
are encrypted (and future versions may also allow OpenID logins).
Developers would like the ability for the root user to be able to become
another user, for the purposes of debugging problems that real users might
be having on a live system.
How does one do this using the Authentication plugin?
Obvious things to try like the $c-user($new_user) doesn't work, not does
the (internal) $c-set_authenticated($user, $real) method.
The recommended approach would be to keep $c-user 'pure', and to arrange to
stash the current user in a top level base chain part, or top level auto.
If everything then subsequently uses $c-stash-{current_user} - then you can
do your sudo (or whatever other mechanism you may need in future) simply by
swapping out the user here.
This makes things a lot more pure - as the canonical user that $c-user will
give you is (more) immutable..
Also, if you swap the 'canonical' user part way through the request - when the
session plugin comes to re-serialize the session at the end of request - you're
pretty stuffed, as you're now writing out the wrong user… I.e. re-sudoing, or
doing any root level action is likely to require you to log out and log in
again - not what you actually want! :)
