I’m now reaching the end of the enhancements I’d planned for the TW5 web server. Briefly summarising the new features:
* Replaces the “server” command with a new, less unwieldy “listen” command that takes named parameters * Configurable to allow anonymous reading but require logging in to edit * Configurable to restrict reading and writing to arbitrary lists of users * Editing controls are now hidden unless the user has write access to the wiki * Multiple user identities via a CSV file of usernames and passwords * Serving static files that are not part of the wiki * Support for HTTPS * Authentication via trusted headers * An experimental new single tiddler per page static view with hyperlinks but no other interactive features * CSRF protection (albeit fairly minimal at this point) It’s a major rework but, as usual, it is intended to be fully backwards compatible with existing wikis and existing command lines. I’d much appreciate help in a few areas: * Verifying that the new stuff doesn’t break backwards compatibility of existing scripts using the --server command * Checking out the new functionality * Helping ensure that the documentation is adequate The new stuff is still in a branch, so if you’re working under Node.js you’ll need to check out this branch to try it out: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/tree/http-server <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/tree/http-server> I’ve also used this branch to build https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease, so you can see the new documentation there: https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/#WebServer <https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/#WebServer> Any other questions and comments are welcome, Best wishes Jeremy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWikiDev" group.
