Since POST requests are now redirected to GET requests (with an
encrypted query string), POST searches are no longer the correct
approach to use for testing purposes.
This should fix the annoyance with browsers like Firefox not caching
POST request responses. By redirecting a POST search to be a GET request
instead (with an encrypted query string), the page can be cached and
successfully navigated back to after visiting a result.
DDG provides favicons using the url format
icons.duckduckgo.com/ip2/{site}.ico
This can be used to fetch favicons in the event that the default
"/favicon.ico" path does not work.
Scroller results (like the "latest from ___" or "top stories" results)
shouldn't have a site icon associated with them. This extracts the class
that those types of results have and skips over the process of inserting
an icon.
Audio controls are now always shown by default (mostly found in searches
that contain word pronunciation guides).
Site icons were moved to the left side of the results.
This improves the search result icon feature by "hiding" the site's icon
if one was not found. This happens in scenarios where a site doesn't
have a /favicon.ico due to having a unique path or using javascript to
load the icon.
This appends an icon element to each search result, using the result
domain's "/favicon.ico" path.
Note that some sites do not have a standard /favicon.ico, but have a
unique path to a specifically sized favicon instead. Worse still, some
sites use javascript to load their favicon, which would make it even
more difficult for Whoogle to figure out.
For now this approach is fine, but can be expanded upon in the future
if desired.
Domains were previously not validated before being handled, leading to a
potential scenario where someone could pass something like
"element_url=127.0.0.1:<port>/<resource>" to access other resources on a
machine running Whoogle. This change ensures that the resource used in
both endpoints is a valid domain.
This also includes validation of config names to prevent names from
including path values such as "../../(etc)".
When starting whoogle from another directory, the path to the calculator
widget was previously invalid. It now specifies the path relative to the widget
loader file.
The calculator was previously triggered for partial matches with words
like "calc", which meant searches containing the word "calcium" would
cause the calculator widget to appear.
Redirects to alternative frontends can now be defined using the
WHOOGLE_REDIRECTS environment variable. Usage is documented in the
readme, but is basically defined as <parent>:<new>.
Closes#988
This relates to an issue with an unknown cause (unable to reproduce on
my end) where the preferences string does not contain the correct amount
of padding on a base64 encoded value. This is mediated by appending
padding to the end of the encoded value, since any extra padding is
removed anyways.
Fixes#987
Defines separate environment variables for setting mobile vs desktop user
agents
Defines an environment variable for using the client's User-Agent
