Strenghten validation against smarter attempts to disguise the javascript: protocol

Replicate a smarter attempt by a penetration tool to disguise the javascript: protocol

Added default dbn to database drivers (acs::dc)

Align behavior with recent change in the xo::db inteface

Remove duplicated entry

removed legacy code from apm_transfer_file

util::http::get should be everywhere available

Rework of util::which

The new version deals now correctly with absolute paths,

where just the extensions are added, and it is checked

whether the program is executable.

Extended regression test to deal with optional and required

external dependencies. Missing optional external programs

produce warnings.

Reduced redundancy

call text_templates::create_pdf_from_html from

text_templates::create_pdf_content instead of replicating logic

Cleanup of external binaries: always use "util::which" to resolve binaries

Background: it is important to always use the same binaries of some

programs. This is important for security reasons, consistency, and

configurability (some operating systems have read-only file systems,

which might be on the path and should be avoided for some operations).

Use GNU grep when available

GNU grep is now used for the lookup of message keys using the

"--include=" parameter. This improves the speed of the command

significantly and reduces the number of external dependencies (no

"find", or "xargs" needed).

Cleanup of external binaries: always use "util::which" to resolve binaries

Improve test:

whether the html filter will accept or not a script tag is configuration-dependent. We now enforce that the outcome is consistent with the security check for HTML used in the filter itself.

Manually replace the ":" entity to prevent attempts at disguising "javascript:" links

Replicate injection attempt by penetration tools

page filters with NUL value

Prefer "string first" over "regexp" since this is twice as fast.

security::validated_host_header: Made acceptance of configured vhosts the first check

Under certain conditions (such as running in a container, or reverse

proxy situations) the admin of a server wants to specify accepted host

names. This can be achieved in the "*/servers" section of a network

driver. These values are used now first for accepting host header

fields. This change avoids unexpected redirects to, e.g., internal

server addresses.

bugfix: fixed test test_ad_register_proc when running in a container

When runnig in a container, one cannot use util_current_localtion, which refers

to the URL to reach the server from the container host. To address the server

inside the container, acs::test::url should be used.

This change does not matter for non-containerized applications

Provide facilities to validate against invalid SQL strings

We introduce a new page contract filter and nsf validator called "dbtext". They implement enforcing of a value to be useable in an SQL query. Currently, this means that the value should not contain the NUL character, but the definition may change in the future or become database-specific.

The html contract filter has also be extended to reject the NUL character.

The test suite has been updated/extended to reflect the changes.

Reform of error handling in ad_page_contract when template recursion is detected

A "complaint recursion" happens if a validation error takes place in one of the templates used while rendering the error page (for instance, anything we include in the master template or the master template itself).

Previously, we would give up complaining after 10 recursions were detected. This had the consequence that after 10 attempt, the failing template involved in rendering the complaint would be fed the invalid data we were trying to reject.

Now, we complain and stop the execution as soon as a recursion is detected. The error will be rendered in a very basic way that overrides the templating system, so that we can exit the recursion cycle.

In practice, only malicious page manipulation attempts should be affected by this change.

improved portability: some versions of "gzip" do not support option "-S"

improved spelling

improved logging output from install.xml files

Removed "-debug" flag

improved robustness of "try_cache"

Added handling of "-per_request" option

Move test from acs-kernel to acs-tcl, add remarks

clear diry editor buffer

Added support for automatic disconnect when a dynamic cluster node is shut down

When the dynamic cluster configuration has scale for certain

occasions, it makes sense to provide down scaling support when these

occasions are over, which does not rely on the configured cluster

disconnect timeout (ClusterAutodeleteInterval). The new code will send

automatically a disconnect request when a dynamic cluster node is

terminating gracefully.

Depending on the configuration, a new version of NaviServer will be

necessary to reliably execute disconnect requests. Appropriate changes

are in the NaviServer release/4.99 and main branches.

Adding auto-deletion of dynamic cluster nodes and small refactoring

- New kernel parameter "ClusterAutodeleteInterval" to specify, when a

dynamic cluster node is not regarded as temporarily unavailable but

as definitely gone. The default value for this parameter is 2m (2

minutes).

- small refactoring to reduce duplicated logic

- Bumped version numbers:

* acs-kernel to 5.10.1b4

* acs-tcl to 5.10.1b3

Small update for cluster support

- Improved visualization of cluster nodes that we lost contact to

- New kernel parameters to reduce hard-coded values and to make purpose more explicit

* new parameter ClusterHeartbeatInterval (default 20s),

was hardcoded before to the new default value

* renamed PreferredLocationRegexp -> ClusterPreferredLocationRegexp

* renamed EnableLoggingP -> ClusterEnableLoggingP

- Bumped version numbers:

* acs-kernel to 5.10.1b3
