Differential and causal profiling determined that 35% of `Hello, world!`
dispatch time was spent rendering `Content-Type` due to many calls to `fmt` in
`MediaType::Display` and an allocation in `ContentType::Into<Header>`. This
change reduces the number of calls to `fmt` to 1 in `MediaType::Display` and
removes the allocation in `Into<Header>` for known media types.
This change also caches a `Rocket` "precheck" so that pre-dispatch checks are
done only a single time for a given `Rocket` instance, further reducing
`MockRequest::dispatch_with` time for "Hello, world!" by roughly 15%.
This commit includes two major changes to core:
1. Configuration state is no longer global. The `config::active()`
function has been removed. The active configuration can be
retrieved via the `config` method on a `Rocket` instance.
2. The `Responder` trait has changed. `Responder::respond(self)` has
been removed in favor of `Responder::respond_to(self, &Request)`.
This allows responders to dynamically adjust their response based
on the incoming request.
Additionally, it includes the following changes to core and codegen:
* The `Request::guard` method was added to allow for simple
retrivial of request guards.
* The `Request::limits` method was added to retrieve configured
limits.
* The `File` `Responder` implementation now uses a fixed size body
instead of a chunked body.
* The `Outcome::of<R: Responder>(R)` method was removed while
`Outcome::from<R: Responder(&Request, R)` was added.
* The unmounted and unmanaged limits are more cautious: they will only
emit warnings when the `Rocket` receiver is known.
This commit includes one major change to contrib:
1. To use contrib's templating, the fairing returned by
`Template::fairing()` must be attached to the running Rocket
instance.
Additionally, the `Display` implementation of `Template` was removed. To
directly render a template to a `String`, the new `Template::show`
method can be used.
This is a breaking change.
This commit introduces `RawStr` to forms. In particular, after this
commit, the `&str` type no longer implements `FromFormValue`, and so it
cannot be used as a field in forms. Instad, the `&RawStr` can be used.
The `FormItems` iterator now returns an `(&RawStr, &RawStr)` pair.
This commit involves several breaking changes:
* `session_key` config param must be a 256-bit base64 encoded string.
* `FromRequest` is implemented for `Cookies`, not `Cookie`.
* Only a single `Cookies` instance can be retrieved at a time.
* `Config::take_session_key` returns a `Vec<u8>`.
* `Into<Header>` is implemented for `&Cookie`, not `Cookie`.
This commit changes the way Rocket parses form items. In particular, it now
(liberally) validates form strings, returning a Bad Request on malformed inputs
and Unprocessable Entity on bad parses.
The 'FormItems' iterator was modified to accomodate this. The iterator is now
initialized using 'from': 'FormItems::from(form_string)'. The iterator can be
queried to check for a complete parse using either 'completed()' or
'exhausted()', the latter of which will consume valid keys/values and return
true only if the entire string was consumed.
The 'FromForm' trait now takes a mutable borrow to a 'FormItems' iterator.
The 'Form' and 'FormForm' implementation for 'Form' were modified to use the new
iterfaces and check for 'exhausted' after a parse, returning a Bad Request error
if the iterator cannot be exhausted.
Resolves#46.
* The `unmanaged_state` lint emits a warning when a `State<T>` request
guard is used without an accompanying `manage` call for `T`.
* The `unmounted_route` lint emits a warning when a route declared via
a Rocket attribute is not mounted via a call to `mount`.
There is one known shortcoming of these lints at present: _any_ call to
`manage` or `mount` marks state/routes as managed/mounted. This can be
an issue when an application uses more than one `Rocket` instance, with
different calls to `mount` and `manage` in each. The lints should
perform their analyses on a per-instance basis.
In #134, @tunz discovered that Rocket does not properly prevent path traversal
or local file inclusion attacks. The issue is caused by a failure to check for
some dangerous characters after decoding. In this case, the path separator '/'
was left as-is after decoding. As such, an attacker could construct a path with
containing any number of `..%2f..` sequences to traverse the file system.
This commit resolves the issue by ensuring that the decoded segment does not
contains any `/` characters. It further hardens the `FromSegments`
implementation by checking for additional risky characters: ':', '>', '<' as the
last character, and '\' on Windows. This is in addition to the already present
checks for '.' and '*' as the first character.
The behavior for a failing check has also changed. Previously, Rocket would skip
segments that contained illegal characters. In this commit, the implementation
instead return an error.
The `Error` type of the `PathBuf::FromSegment` implementations was changed to a
new `SegmentError` type that indicates the condition that failed.
Closes#134.
