Under some conditions, these varied responses could lead to cache poisoning, hence the 'security' label.
Previously the Rails application would serve JSON data in place of HTML whenever Ember CLI requested an `application.html.erb`-rendered page. This commit removes that logic, and instead parses the HTML out of the standard response. This means that Rails doesn't need to customize its response for Ember CLI.
We have two JS assets which are included in the `<body>` of responses. We were including the `<link rel='preload'` hint alongside the script tag in the body. Instead, we can move the preload hint to the `<head>` so that the browser discovers it earlier, and can start preloading the assets while the body is loading.
Trying to use a local test hostname other than localhost
(e.g. discourse.test )for discourse development was difficult due
the fact that localhost was hardcoded in a few places. This patch
uses existing environment variables to allow a developer to use a
different domain when developing.

This was problematic if something like SCSS file throws an error as the
app would tell Ember CLI to bootstrap as if everything is fine and not
display the error.
The fix is to only hijack the rendering at the end of the template
instead of the beginning.
This adds an optional ENV variable, `EMBER_CLI_PROD_ASSETS`. If truthy,
compiling production assets will be done via Ember CLI and will replace
the assets Rails would otherwise use.
Before this change, calling `StyleSheet::Manager.stylesheet_details`
for the first time resulted in multiple queries to the database. This is
because the code was modelled in a way where each `Theme` was loaded
from the database one at a time.
This PR restructures the code such that it allows us to load all the
theme records in a single query. It also allows us to eager load the
required associations upfront. In order to achieve this, I removed the
support of loading multiple themes per request. It was initially added
to support user selectable theme components but the feature was never
completed and abandoned because it wasn't a feature that we thought was
worth building.
In Ember CLI addons get put into the vendor bundle, as opposed to their
own bundle like we're doing in the Rails app. We never use pretty-text
without our vendor bundle so this should have no difference on
performance.
We need to keep the pretty-text bundle for server side cooking.
In Ember CLI, the vendor bundler includes Ember/jQuery, so this brings
our app closer to that configuration.
We have a couple pages (Reset Password / Confirm New Email) where we need
`ember_jquery` without vendor so the file still exists for those cases.
We really want to encourage all developers to use Ember CLI for local
development and testing. This will display an error page if they are not
with instructions on how to start the local server.
To disable it, you can set `NO_EMBER_CLI=1` as an ENV variable
* DEV: Give a nicer error when `--proxy` argument is missing
* DEV: Improve Ember CLI's bootstrap logic
Instead of having Ember CLI know which URLs to proxy or not, have it try
the URL with a special header `HTTP_X_DISCOURSE_EMBER_CLI`. If present,
and Discourse thinks we should bootstrap the application, it will
instead stop rendering and return a HTTP HEAD with a response header
telling Ember CLI to bootstrap.
In other words, any time Rails would otherwise serve up the HTML for the
Ember app, it stops and says "no, you do it."
* DEV: Support asset filters by path using a new options object
Without this, Ember CLI's bootstrap would not get the assets it wants
because the path it was requesting was different than the browser path.
This adds an optional request header to fix it.
So far this is only used by the styleguide.
browser-update script does not work correctly in some very old browsers
because the contents of <noscript> is not accessible in JavaScript.
For these browsers, the server can display the crawler page and add the
browser update notice.
Simply loading the browser-update script in the crawler view is not a
solution because that means all crawlers will also see it.
This fixes the following error: "Uncaught ReferenceError: I18n is not defined"
The alternative would be to add `locales/#{I18n.locale}`, but the pages do not use any JS.
This cookie is only used during login. Having it persist after that can
cause some unusual behavior, especially for sites with short session
lengths.
We were already deleting the cookie following a new signup, but not for
existing users.
This commit moves the cookie deletion logic out of the erb template, and
adds logic and tests to ensure it is always deleted consistently.

CSS are blocking resources, so keeping them below JS delays
rendering of the page. CSS should be loaded ASAP.
This change speeds up first contentful paint by 0.2s on localhost.
The slower the device, the bigger the difference could be.
DEV: Replace instances of Discourse.base_uri with Discourse.base_path
This is clearer because the base_uri is actually just a path prefix. This continues the work started in 555f467.
* DEV: To be pedantic, there is more than EMBER in there now
* DEV: Use less globals. Have `Discourse` start in an initializer
* DEV: Remove another global
This reverts commit 20780a1eee.
* SECURITY: re-adds accidentally reverted commit:
03d26cd6: ensure embed_url contains valid http(s) uri
* when the merge commit e62a85cf was reverted, git chose the 2660c2e2 parent to land on
instead of the 03d26cd6 parent (which contains security fixes)
If the feature is enabled, staff members can construct a URL and publish a
topic for others to browse without the regular Discourse chrome.
This is useful if you want to use Discourse like a CMS and publish
topics as articles, which can then be embedded into other systems.
In order to avoid a boatload of attributeBindings, I moved the root
element of the suggested-topics component into the template. Also,
autoformat their hbs files.
Testing info: https://www.scottohara.me/blog/2018/03/03/landmarks.html#using-screen-readers-to-navigate-landmarks
Additionally, flag modals with aria-modal=true to avoid the screenreader
accidentally escaping the modal. There's no need to ever toggle the
attribute to false, because we display:none the modal root when it's
closed.
Additionally correctly handle cookie path for authentication_data
There were two bugs that exposed an interesting case where two discourse
instances hosted across two subfolder installs in the same domain
with oauth may clash and cause strange redirection on first login:
Log in to example.com/forum1. authentication_data cookie is set with path /
On the first redirection, the current authentication_data cookie is not unset.
Log in to example.com/forum2. In this case, the authentication_data cookie
is already set from forum1 - the initial page load will incorrectly redirect
the user to the redirect URL from the already-stored cookie, to /forum1.
This removes this issue by:
* Setting the cookie for the correct path, and not having it on root
* Correctly removing the cookie on first login
Attempt 2, with more test.

New site setting: `embed_any_origin` that will send postMessages to
wildcard origins `*` instead of the referer.
Most of the time you won't want to do this, so the setting is default to
`false`. However, there are certain situations where you want to allow
embedding to send post messages when there is no HTTP REFERER.
For example, if you created a native mobile app and you wanted to embed a list
of Discourse topics as HTML. In the code your HTML would be a
static file/string, which would not be able to send a referer. In this
case, the site setting will allow the embed to work.
From a security standpoint we currently only use `postMessage` to send
data about the size of the HTML document and scroll position, so it
should be enable if required with minimal security ramifications.
When showing the native app banner, we include an app argument to automatically add the current site to the official DiscourseHub app. However, the app id can be changed via a hidden site setting, and when changed, that argument is no longer useful. This ensures the argument is only included for the official iOS app banner.
This feature adds the ability to customize the HTML part of all emails using a custom HTML template and optionally some CSS to style it. The CSS will be parsed and converted into inline styles because CSS is poorly supported by email clients. When writing the custom HTML and CSS, be aware of what email clients support. Keep customizations very simple.
Customizations can be added and edited in Admin > Customize > Email Style.
Since the summary email is already heavily styled, there is a setting to disable custom styles for summary emails called "apply custom styles to digest" found in Admin > Settings > Email.
As part of this work, RTL locales are now rendered correctly for all emails.
