Introduces a new content security policy header for responses to all
requests to reduce the possibility of ip leaks to outside connections.
By default blocks all inline scripts, and only allows content loaded
from Whoogle.
Refactors a few small inline scripting cases in the project to their own
individual scripts.
Requiring authentication for accessing the opensearch template prevents
the browser from accessing the file when adding as a default search
engine. This removes the authentication requirement from the opensearch
route, which should never provide any sensitive information anyways.
Bang operator can now be placed anywhere in the query, to allow for peak
efficiency in stream of consciousness querying (i.e. `big !reddit
chungus` will search reddit for big chungus`).
Fixes#196
* Adds the ability to redirect reddit.com to libredd.it using the existing
"site alts" config setting.
This adds the WHOOGLE_ALT_RD environment variable for optionally
redirecting reddit links to libreddit
(https://github.com/spikecodes/libreddit).
* Include libreddit in home page site alt note
Pip installs of whoogle search were missing access to the misc/ folder,
which previously contained the language and country json files. These
have been moved to app/misc, and the previous root level misc/ was
renamed to config/ (since it now only contains the tor config files).
Bump to 0.3.1.
Heroku instances were using the base http url when formatting the
opensearch.xml template. This adds a new routing utility, "needs_https",
which can be used for determining if the url in question needs
upgrading.
With javascript disabled, searches could not be submitted on the results
page using the "Enter" key. Adding a hidden submit button to the header
template resolves this issue.
The Dockerfile was incorrectly assigning an empty string to the site alt
values, which caused the filter to update relevant sites with an empty
host. This replaces the empty string with the correct domain for each
site alternative.
The lxml dependency in the project was fairly unnecessary, and made the
initial build time for the project considerably slower. This replaces
all instances of lxml with either the default html parser (for bs4
constructors) or the built in xml.etree package (for search suggestion
parsing).
Introduces a new javascript "utils" file, which includes a check for
matching the query against a set of tracking number regexes on page
load. If a match is found, the script prepends a link to the
(presumably) appropriate tracking page.

Moves the language and country dicts from the config model to json files
that are loaded during app init and stored in the app config dict. This
substantially improves the readability of the config model and allows
for much more sensible loading of the language/country options.
This adds a step in the filter process to wrap the "people also ask"
section in a <details> element, which automatically collapses the
contents of the section. Clicking/tapping the details element expands
the view as normal.
See #113
The BeautifulSoup constructur in gen_nojs needed to explicitly set
features='lxml' to silence a warning from the library.
Also temporarily disabled the site alts test since the results are too
unreliable. This should be moved to a unit test instead.
Repl.it has deprecated the anonymous experience so I have removed the part of the README stating that users can host on Repl.it without an account. -- @spikecodes
The pagination footer on the results page after page 2 has three actions
(beginning, next, previous). The footer filter was updated to remove
items with more than three actions to fix this.
See #131
* Add ability to configure site alts w/ env vars
Site alternatives (i.e. twitter.com -> nitter.net) can now be configured
using environment variables:
WHOOGLE_ALT_TW='nitter.net' # twitter alt
WHOOGLE_ALT_YT='invidio.us' # youtube alt
WHOOGLE_ALT_IG='bibliogram.art/u' # instagram alt
Updated testing to confirm results have been modified.
* Add site alt vars to docker settings and readme
Heroku app instances have been notoriously bad at having the instance
automatically upgraded to https. This adds a step in the before request
decorator to always upgrade heroku apps, since they're always deployed
with the certificate, but never configured to upgrade automatically.
Fixes#153
The invidious instance has been updated to invidious.snopyta.org, since
this instance is more reliable and has more users according to
instances.invidio.us
All site alternative redirects now redirect without the 'www' subdomain,
since most of the alternative sites don't have this subdomain set up.
The resolution for enabling full support for search + suggestions in
Chrome is to remove the "method" tag altogether for any Chrome based
browser. Any inclusion of this tag seems to break the search suggestion
feature, and makes the user add the search engine manually.
Dark mode, country, interface language, and search language configs
can now be set in the search query by appending each option as a
url parameter.
Supported args are: 'dark', 'lang_search', 'lang_interface', and 'ctry'
Ex: /search?q=%s&dark=1&lang_search=lang_en...
These config settings persist across page navigation and switching
result type, but will be reset if the main search bar is used.
See #144
Environment variables should by default be disabled, since they are
optional and need further configuration by the user before enabling.
Readme was updated to reflect this approach, as well as moving the
documentation for the variables a bit lower and properly linking to them
in other areas of the readme.
The body tag of the home page was previously hidden until the page was
finished loading to prevent a flash of unstyled content, but this broke
functionality for users who disallow javascript. This adds in a new
noscript tag to manually enable visibility of the body element, as well
as automatically displaying the config section (since its visibility is
also typically handled by javascript).
* Use relative links instead of absolute
This allows for hosting under a subpath. For example if you want to host
whoogle at example.com/whoogle, it should work better with a reverse proxy.
* Use relative link for opensearch.xml
Occasionally, Firefox will send the search suggestion
string to the server without a mimetype, resulting in the suggestion
only appearing in Flask's `request.data` field. This field is typically
not used for parsing arguments, as the documentation states:
Contains the incoming request data as string in case it came with a
mimetype Flask does not handle.
This fix captures the bytes object sent to the server and parses it into
a normal query to be used in forming suggestions.
The tor service is now started by calling a script which runs tor
according to the current container user. If the user is root, the script
will begin the tor service as normal. Otherwise, it runs tor as the
current user. This primarily is meant to address the issue with Heroku
builds (which don't have a root user) not being able to start tor as a
service.
Also refactored the rc/ dir to misc/ (with a tor/ subdir) since that
makes more sense.
* Add tor and http/socks proxy support
Allows users to enable/disable tor from the config menu, which will
forward all requests through Tor.
Also adds support for setting environment variables for alternative
proxy support. Setting the following variables will forward requests
through the proxy:
- WHOOGLE_PROXY_USER (optional)
- WHOOGLE_PROXY_PASS (optional)
- WHOOGLE_PROXY_TYPE (required)
- Can be "http", "socks4", or "socks5"
- WHOOGLE_PROXY_LOC (required)
- Format: "<ip address>:<port>"
See #30
* Refactor acquire_tor_conn -> acquire_tor_identity
Also updated travis CI to set up tor
* Add check for Tor socket on init, improve Tor error handling
Initializing the app sends a heartbeat request to Tor to check for
availability, and updates the home page config options accordingly. This
heartbeat is sent on every request, to ensure Tor support can be
reconfigured without restarting the entire app.
If Tor support is enabled, and a subsequent request fails, then a new
TorError exception is raised, and the Tor feature is disabled until a
valid connection is restored.
The max attempts has been updated to 10, since 5 seemed a bit too low
for how quickly the attempts go by.
* Change send_tor_signal arg type, update function doc
send_tor_signal now accepts a stem.Signal arg (a bit cleaner tbh). Also
added the doc string for the "disable" attribute in TorError.
* Fix tor identity logic in Request.send
* Update proxy init, change proxyloc var name
Proxy is now only initialized if both type and location are specified,
as neither have a default fallback and both are required. I suppose the
type could fall back to http, but seems safer this way.
Also refactored proxyurl -> proxyloc for the runtime args in order to
match the Dockerfile args.
* Add tor/proxy support for Docker builds, fix opensearch/init
The Dockerfile is now updated to include support for Tor configuration,
with a working torrc file included in the repo.
An issue with opensearch was fixed as well, which was uncovered during
testing and was simple enough to fix here. Likewise, DDG bang gen was
updated to only ever happen if the file didn't exist previously, as
testing with the file being regenerated every time was tedious.
* Add missing "@" for socks proxy requests
