This helps ensure that the code to detect specific ActivityStream types
continues to live in the code-generation algorithms, reducing
maintenance burdens.
He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster.
And if thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee.
PostOutbox and the SocialAPI can now use either HTTP Signatures or a
custom authentication scheme, such as OAuth2.
Tests for the handler authentication and authorization need to be
written still.
This also incorporates some interface changes to permit both HTTP
Signatures and other forms of authentication and authorization when
accessing data. This means support for something like OAuth2 should be
doable in conjunction with HTTP Signatures.
Tests are broken; this commit should not be used as a build point.
These generally include improving the handling of OrderedCollections and
IRIs. Note that improvement to setting IRI'd fetches from the
implementing application were made.
Improve the handing of AutoAccept and AutoReject follows. If there are
no owned objects in the Activity, we prevent sending the automatic reply
in case the implemented application is not checking for ownership of the
object of the original Follow activity.
Also move some functions out of the generic Application interface into
the specialized SocialApp interface. They will be moved back into the
Application interface if further development needs it when implementing
inbox forwarding, for example.
Also refactored the likes/liked add-to-collections logic so that they
are also applicable for following and followers collections. This code
is still as ugly as sin.
This was uncovered during writing tests where both the Social and
Federative APIs are enabled. The actorObject interface was overused
partially due to my earlier confusion; the introduction of the internal
actor interface resolved this.
Finally, the HttpClient interface was introduced to be able to mock out
calls in testing. It may also prove useful for future applications using
this library.
