FedURIs, until now, have been requiring HTTPS, and no port number, and DNS
internet domain names. This works just fine on the forge fediverse, but it
makes local dev builds much less useful.
This patch introduces URI types that have a type tag specifying one of 2 modes:
- `Dev`: Works with URIs like `http://localhost:3000/s/fr33`
- `Fed`: Works with URIs like `https://dev.community/s/fr33`
This should allow even to run multiple federating instances for development,
without needing TLS or reverse proxies or editing the hosts files or anything
like that.
This patch also disables the ability to specify deps when creating a ticket,
because those deps won't be in the ticket object anymore. Instead of coding a
workaround and getting complications later, I just disabled that thing. It
wasn't really being used by anyone anyway.
This patch doesn't just add the handler code, it also does lots of refactoring
and moves around pieces of code that are used in multiple places. There is
still lots of refactoring to make though. In this patch I tried to make minimal
changes to the existing Note handler to avoid breaking it. In later patches
I'll do some more serious refactoring, hopefully resulting with less mess in
the code.
`updateGet` isn't atomic by default. In PostgreSQL the default isolation level
if committed read, and an `update` followed by a `get` doesn't guarantee you
get the same value you sent. However I'm making a patch for `persistent` to
make `updateGet` atomic for PostgreSQL.
- The data returned from activity authentication has nicer types now, and no
mess of big tuples.
- Activity authentication code has its own module now, Vervis.Federation.Auth.
- The sharer inbox handler can now handle and store activities by a local
project actor, forwarded from a remote actor. This isn't in use right now,
but once projects start publishing Accept activities, or other things, it may
be needed.
