Improves proxy support
- Automatically detect and dehyphenise https proxies which use EZProxy
HttpsHyphens
- Web translators now pass around Zotero.Proxy instances which can
proxify/deproxify urls passed to `translate.setLocation()` before calling
`translate.getTranslators()`/ translate.detect()`. The proxy passing is
done within connector background/injected processes and between
standalone and connectors.
- Proxy protocol unified with connectors. Connectors can now pass
proxies to `/connector/save_items`. The proxies will be used to resolve
true item and attachment urls when saving.

The Zotero.DataDirectory equivalents return string paths instead of nsIFile
instances, so some of these calls now just use Zotero.File.pathToFile(), which
can be removed when the surrounding code is updated to OS.File,
Look for other profiles, from both apps (Firefox and Standalone), that
point to the data directory being migrated and update prefs.js in those
profiles to point to the new location.
Also reorganize code into Zotero.Profile and Zotero.DataDirectory
namespaces
And don't skip alerts in Zotero.alert() during automated tests. (That
was intended to avoid long timeouts after unexpected failures, but,
e.g., PDF metadata lookups (which are currently disabled in automated
tests) should just be mocked so they don't intermittently fail.)
server_connectorTest - alternating port prevents
exceptions not catchable in JS for httpd server when the socket
and the port remains open after httpd.stop() callback
support - changes the window on which `setTimeout()` is ran in dialogs.
If the timeout is ran on the main window the `dialog` object appears to
lose certain properties and not respond to interactions completely.
Items in a library are now loaded only when a library is clicked on and
at sync time. There might be some other areas where they need to be
loaded or where this causes problems (e.g., drag and drop, word
processor integration).
- Hide notes, tags and related for feed items in itembox
- Add feed support for <enclosure> elements
- Add feed syncing methods for synced settings (additional work is
needed on the sync architecture to download synced settings from the
server)
- Change feed item clear policy to be less aggressive
- Adjust for deasyncification
- Disable translate-on-select
- Closeadomasven/zotero#7, Remove context menu items from feeds
While trying to get translation and citing working with asynchronously
generated data, we realized that drag-and-drop support was going to
be...problematic. Firefox only supports synchronous methods for
providing drag data (unlike, it seems, the DataTransferItem interface
supported by Chrome), which means that we'd need to preload all relevant
data on item selection (bounded by export.quickCopy.dragLimit) and keep
the translate/cite methods synchronous (or maintain two separate
versions).
What we're trying instead is doing what I said in #518 we weren't going
to do: loading most object data on startup and leaving many more
functions synchronous. Essentially, this takes the various load*()
methods described in #518, moves them to startup, and makes them operate
on entire libraries rather than individual objects.
The obvious downside here (other than undoing much of the work of the
last many months) is that it increases startup time, potentially quite a
lot for larger libraries. On my laptop, with a 3,000-item library, this
adds about 3 seconds to startup time. I haven't yet tested with larger
libraries. But I'm hoping that we can optimize this further to reduce
that delay. Among other things, this is loading data for all libraries,
when it should be able to load data only for the library being viewed.
But this is also fundamentally just doing some SELECT queries and
storing the results, so it really shouldn't need to be that slow (though
performance may be bounded a bit here by XPCOM overhead).
If we can make this fast enough, it means that third-party plugins
should be able to remain much closer to their current designs. (Some
things, including saving, will still need to be made asynchronous.)
Also:
- Remove last-sync-time mechanism for both WebDAV and ZFS, since it can
be determined by storage properties (mtime/md5) in data sync
- Add option to include synced storage properties in item toJSON()
instead of local file properties
- Set "Fake-Server-Match" header in setHTTPResponse() test support
function, which can be used for request count assertions -- see
resetRequestCount() and assertRequestCount() in webdavTest.js
- Allow string (e.g., 'to_download') instead of constant in
Zotero.Sync.Data.Local.setSyncState()
- Misc storage tweaks
Improves UX of sync authentication.
The account is now linked and unlinked and an API key related to
the client is generated transparently in the background.
The API key is deleted on unlinking.
No sync options are allowed before linking an account.
Closes#864
This adds a 'channel' property to Zotero.HTTP.UnexpectedStatusException,
because the 'channel' property of the XHR can be garbage-collected
before handling, and the channel's 'securityInfo' property is necessary
to detect certificate errors.
