Previously we appended a dot at the end of IP addresses and domain names in the
cURL security helper, but it causes issues with Google OAuth so this patch removes it.
Freaky deaky Unicode/octal/hex domains can be resolved by cURL but are technically not valid.
This patch causes anything that Moodle does not consider to be a valid domain or IP to be blocked
by the cURL security helper.
There is an edge case whereby redis will fail
to accept connections on the first try but
retrying the connection seems to make it work
Included in this commit:
* Retry functionality in the session init
Triggering a fatal error in an adhoc task is bad. It will be retried indefinitely.
Even though we are not sure how to get a module instance without a course module record,
it is possible and should not kill the Moodle site.
The url, which was used for guessing the image, was queried with the
key 'discoveryurl', which is not defined in the context of an issuer.
The baseurl should be sufficient to retrieve the favicon.ico from a
server. That's why the key for was changed from 'discoveryurl' to
'baseurl'.
Mustache templates containing {{#js}} blocks are not returned via the
fragments API. This is because the requirements manager is assigned when the renderer is created
and not updated by the call to start collecting page requirements.
Also removed write_header() and write_footer(). The reason for this
is because in core we want to know if the format being used supports
multiple sheets. To do this, and ensure we do not break third-party
dataformat plugins, we are using method_exist(). If write_header()
and write_footer() remain in the base class then this will always
be true.
Repository instances are stored in the 'repository' table. Repositories
in the table are either 'Enabled and visible' or 'Enabled but hidden'.
Hidden repositories still serve their files, but are not visible in the
filepicker UI. Disabling a repository instance removes its record from
the table.
In the original implementation of the plugin manager (see b9934a17), the
method plugintype_repository::get_enabled_repositories() correctly
returned all records from the repository table. Then as a part of the
bigger refactoring in MDL-41437, the commit bde002b8 replaced the
original method with the new get_enabled_plugins() one which started to
return visible repositories only.
As a consequence, the admin tree stopped populating setting page nodes
for hidden repository instances. So attempting to visit their setting
page threw a section error. Credit goes to Ike Quigley for debugging and
tracing this down.
This patch fixes the way how the list of enabled repositories is
populated by the plugin manager so that both visible and hidden
repositories are returned again. This does not affect the filepicker
itself as it is using its own methods for obtaining the list.
