Current FedSocket implementation has a bunch of problems. It doesn't
have proper error handling (in case of an error the server just doesn't
respond until the connection is closed, while the client doesn't match
any error messages and just assumes there has been an error after 15s)
and the code is full of bad descisions (see: fetch registry which uses
uuids for no reason and waits for a response by recursively querying a
ets table until the value changes, or double JSON encoding).
Sometime ago I almost completed rewriting fedsockets from scrach to
adress these issues. However, while doing so, I realized that fedsockets
are just too overkill for what they were trying to accomplish, which is
reduce the overhead of federation by not signing every message.
This could be done without reimplementing failure states and endpoint
logic we already have with HTTP by, for example, using TLS cert auth,
or switching to a more performant signature algorithm. I opened
https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma/-/issues/2262 for further
discussion on alternatives to fedsockets.
From discussions I had with other Pleroma developers it seems like they
would approve the descision to remove them as well,
therefore I am submitting this patch.
* These are the first small steps for issue 2034 "Reports should send a notification to admins".
* I added a new type of notification "pleroma:report" to the the database manually (a migration will need to be written later)
* I added the new type to the notification_controller
* I made the view return the notification. It doesn't include the report itself (yet)
Validate the content-type of the response when fetching an object,
according to https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#x3-2-retrieving-objects.
content-type headers had to be added to many mocks in order to support
this, some of this was done with a regex. While I did go over the
resulting files to check I didn't modify anything unrelated, there is a
possibility I missed something.
Closes pleroma#1948
Closes#2275
As discovered in the issue, captcha used Tesla.get instead of
Pleroma.HTTP. I've also grep'ed the repo and changed the other place
where this was used.
