This adds a new copy:deps task into the overall default task, and it
needs to be run before running the product for the first time, and after
upgrading audio-related deps.
FREEBIE
* Add certificate pinning on https service requests
Make https requests to the server using node apis instead of browser apis, so we
can specify our own CA list, which contains only our own CA.
This protects us from MITM by a rogue CA.
As a bonus, this let's us drop the use of non-standard ports and just use good
ol' default 443 all the time, at least for http requests.
// FREEBIE
* Make certificateAuthorities an option on requests
Modify node-based xhr implementation based on driverdan/node-XMLHttpRequest,
adding support for setting certificate authorities on each request.
This allows us to pin our master CA for requests to the server and cdn but not
to the s3 attachment server, for instance. Also fix an exception when sending
binary data in a request: it is submitted as an array buffer, and must be
converted to a node Buffer since we are now using a node based request api.
// FREEBIE
* Import node-based xhr implementation
Add a copy of https://github.com/driverdan/node-XMLHttpRequest@86ff70e, and
expose it to the renderer in the preload script.
In later commits this module will be extended to support custom certificate
authorities.
// FREEBIE
* Support "arraybuffer" responseType on requests
When fetching attachments, we want the result as binary data rather than a utf8
string. This lets our node-based XMLHttpRequest honor the responseType property
if it is set on the xhr.
Note that naively using the raw `.buffer` from a node Buffer won't work, since
it is a reuseable backing buffer that is often much larger than the actual
content defined by the Buffer's offset and length.
Instead, we'll prepare a return buffer based on the response's content length
header, and incrementally write chunks of data into it as they arrive.
// FREEBIE
* Switch to self-signed server endpoint
* Log more error info on failed requests
With the node-based xhr, relevant error info are stored in statusText and
responseText when a request fails.
// FREEBIE
* Add node-based websocket w/ support for custom CA
// FREEBIE
* Support handling array buffers instead of blobs
Our node-based websocket calls onmessage with an arraybuffer instead of a blob.
For robustness (on the off chance we switch or update the socket implementation
agian) I've kept the machinery for converting blobs to array buffers.
// FREEBIE
* Destroy all wacky server ports
// FREEBIE
Without this file, clients would be stranded on the current version forever.
This change extends release-test to verify its presence in a packaged build.
// FREEBIE
Order of operations is now:
- regenerate local assets
- clean the release dir
- download linux/windows releases
- build osx release
- smoke all test releases
// FREEBIE
These modules together allow us to import css files from third party
components without maintaining symlinks that essentially rename them as
sass partials, which doesn't work on windows.
// FREEBIE
Add the buildExpiration config and add it to the renderer's config
object. Use grunt to write the build expiration to
config/local-production.json which will override the default value (no
expiration) in production. Finally, run this grunt task as part of the
build process.
// FREEBIE
There may come a day when we may need to change this url from the server
side. On that day, clients should continue to operate normally. The
service should be able to change attachment server locations without
requiring a client update.
// FREEBIE
Similar in function to an xhr request, a textsecure.SyncRequest object
is initialized from a message sender and receiver pair and initiates a
request for sync from the master device. It later fires a success event
when both contacts and groups are done syncing, or a timeout event after
one minute.
