Did some more exploration and perf tuning and thinking on caching
|
|
|
|
|
databases, and am pretty sure I know how I want to implement it. Will be
|
|
|
|
|
several stages, starting with using it for generating views, and ending(?)
|
|
|
|
|
with using it for direct mode file mappings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Not sure I'm ready to dive into that yet, so instead spent the rest of the
|
2014-04-16 08:59:00 +00:00
|
|
|
day working on small bugfixes and improvements. Only two significant ones..

Made the webapp use a constant time string comparison (from `securemem`)
|
2014-03-15 06:50:38 +00:00
|
|
|
to check if its auth token is valid. This could help avoid a potential
|
|
|
|
|
timing attack to guess the auth token, although that is theoretical.
|
|
|
|
|
Just best practice to do this.

Seems that openssh 6.5p1 had another hidden surprise (in addition to
|
|
|
|
|
its now-fixed bug in handing hostnames in `.ssh/config`) -- it broke
|
|
|
|
|
the method git-annex was using for stopping a cached ssh connection,
|
2014-03-15 06:50:38 +00:00
|
|
|
which led to some timeouts for failing DNS lookups. If git-annex seems
|
|
|
|
|
to stall for a few seconds at startup/shutdown, that may be why
|
|
|
|
|
(--debug will say for sure). I seem to have found a workaround that
|
|
|
|
|
avoids this problem.
