The file downloader was changed from a simple redirect to the file to one
implemented in PHP, which should make it safer, by making it possible disallow
direct access to the file, to prevent executing of atttachments
The filename has a new format:
bin2hex("{$original_name}")."-{$filehash}"
This format should be respected. Notice the dash, which is important to distinguish it from the previous
format, which was "{$hash}.{$ext}"
This change was made to both make the experience more user friendly, by
providing a readable name for files, as opposed to it's hash. This name is taken
from the upload filename, but, clearly, as this wasn't done before, it's
impossible to have a proper name for older files, so those are displayed as
"untitled.{$ext}".
This new name is displayed in the UI, instead of the previous name.
Default supported files need to use consistent names. Bumped version to 1.20.0
ImageFile has been changed to extend MediaFile and rely on it to partially
validate files. This validation has been extended to not rely solely on
Fileinfo, as it is disabled on some places. Now it'll try to use the shell
command `file`, if Fileinfo isn't available.
ImageFile now converts every new upload to PNG, except JPEG and GIF, which
are kept, but still resized (to the same size), to remove possible scripts
embedded therein.
MediaFile::fromUpload will return an ImageFile if the uploaded file is an image
or a MediaFile otherwise.
MediaFile can be constructed with an id with value -1 to denote a temporary
object, which is not added to the DB. This is useful to create a temporary
object for representing images, so it can be used to rescale them.
The supported attachment array needs to be populated with the result of calling
`image_type_to_extension` for the appropriate image type, in the case of images.
This is important so all parts of the code see the same extension for each image
type (jpg vs jpeg).
Added documentation to classes/File.php and to lib/MediaFile and lib/ImageFile
Many newspapers seem to use animated GIFs as catchy header images, which
we would fail to show from oEmbed/OpenGraph fetching since they would
want us to "use File as Thumbnail", but the only place the image filename
was stored was in File_thumbnail, for the thumbnail of that file_id which
had a URL set.
We don't guess the current profile anymore if the value of the profile === -1
Also sets $this->scoped for all ScopingNoticeStream inheritors, which just
like in an Action can be null if we're not scoped in any way (logged in).
Foolproof file redirection
This solves an issue when our internal /attachment/{file_id} links are shortened with an remote shorteners (which caused the /attachment/{file_id} links to be saved to the File table and a thumbnail of a thumbnail being generated)
See merge request !98
This would overwrite remote URLs with local verisons which removes source href...
The reason one might have filenames for remote URLs is that StoreRemoteMedia plugin
fetches them and uses the filename field.
