Network utils has a method `fetch_host_ip_and_country` which will
fetch both. The country fetching uses the `ip-api.com` free service
to resolve country information.
We've already accepted these on incoming payloads for a long time and so do all the other platforms now, so now we always send out entities with the new property names. This can break federation with really old servers that don't understand these keys yet.
Closes#59
Change unquote method used when preparing Diaspora XML payloads for verification.
Some platforms deliver payloads not using the urlsafe base64 standard which caused problems when validating the unquoted signature. Ensure maximum compatibility by allowing non-standard urlsafe quoted payloads.
Closes#115
Also provided is a Django view and url configuration for easy addition into Django projects. Django is not a hard dependency of this library, usage of the Django view obviously requires installing Django itself. For configuration details see documentation.
Closes#108
This adds possibility for private message support.
JSON encrypted payload encryption and decryption is handled by the Diaspora `EncryptedPayload` class.
Refs: #82
Diaspora removed 'public' from reshare in protocol version 0.2.2. Since we do support it, when parsing incoming payloads, set it to True if it is missing. Our Share base entity defaults to False.
The given ID will be fetched using the correct entity class specific remote endpoint, validated to be from the correct author against their public key and then an instance of the entity class will be constructed and returned.
Also related changes and refactoring:
* New Diaspora protocol helper `federation.utils.diaspora.retrieve_and_parse_content`. See notes regarding the high level fetcher above.
* New Diaspora protocol helper `federation.utils.fetch_public_key`. Given a `handle` as a parameter, will fetch the remote profile and return the `public_key` from it.
* Refactoring for Diaspora `MagicEnvelope` class.
* Diaspora procotol receive flow now uses the `MagicEnvelope` class to verify payloads.
* Diaspora protocol receive flow now fetches the sender public key over the network if a `sender_key_fetcher` function is not passed in. Previously an error would be raised.
Closes#103
Maps to a `DiasporaReshare` for the Diaspora protocol.
The `Share` entity supports all the properties that a Diaspora reshare does. Additionally two other properties are supported: `raw_content` and `entity_type`. The former can be used for a "quoted share" case where the sharer adds their own note to the share. The latter can be used to reference the type of object that was shared, to help the receiver, if it is not sharing a `Post` entity. The value must be a base entity class name.
