- Adds support for blacklisting domains
- Adds support for blacklisting & whitelisting IP addresses and
IP ranges.
- Reuse threads for HTTP requests
AddressPredicate will parse a series of patterns and convert them into
regexes or CIDR ranges. When checking whether an address is accessible,
we first ensure the domain is whitelisted and isn't blacklisted.
If everything is OK, then we start create a new thread for the HTTP
request and resolve the IP, ensuring that is whitelisted & not
blacklisted. Then the normal HTTP request is continued.
However, http.checkURL also needs to resolve the IP address. In order to
avoid blocking the Lua thread, this method will return instantly and
create a new thread which will queue an event.
As both http.request and http.checkURL are now creating threads and
queuing events, some logic is abstracted into a separate HTTPTask class
- this allows us to share the thread creation, finishing and cancelling
logic.
- Move the encoding/decoding from the Filesystem implementation to the
individual handles.
- Move each handle into an core.apis.handles package from the main fs
API.
- Move the HTTP response to inherit from these handles.
- Allow binary handles' read function to accept a number, specifying
how many characters to read - these will be returned as a Lua string.
- Add readAll to binary handles
- Allow binary handles' write function to accept a string which is
decoded into the individual bytes.
- Add "binary" argument to http.request and friends in order to return
a binary handle.
- Ensure file handles are open when reading from/writing to them.
- Return the error message when opening a file fails.
table.unpack will often stop at the first nil value, meaning some event
arguments may be discarded. By storing the number of arguments through
table.pack, and then using that count when unpacking, we can ensure all
values are returned/resumed with.
