Some clients aren't really capable of authenticating + some users probably
don't want to enter a password for the web interface. This option allows
clients on for instance the local network to connect without authentication.
Make it easier to add new parameters later, get rid of redundant code, clean
up, align between httpd_xxx modules and introduce new bugs. Yes, the refactor
got a bit out of hand.
For people who want to avoid the web login, or want to get around pairing
problems. This is also added because commit #e59a1a1 means that all
Remotes are now subject to auth, not just those with a user-agent name that
starts with "Remote".
Setting the response headers "Cache-Control" and "Last-Modified" results
in clients being able to cache the response. For a subsequent request
for the same file, the browser sets the request header
"If-Modified-Since" with the value from "Last-Modified" from the last
response. The server (httpd.c) checks if the file has been modified and
if not returns HTTP 304 Not Modified.
the admin password
Changes the default for the admin password to be unset, by default only
allowing access to the WEB_ROOT files if accessed from localhost.
rescaling, meaning we can do without parallel ffmpeg interfaces.
This also moves artwork rescaling from libswscale to libavfilter, which
seems to fix a problem with PNG rescaling.
- Added custom checks for libraries and pkgconfig modules that test library
presence with additional checks for use of headers and functions with
given options. Also support correct additional feature library checks
using provided flags.
- Added custom enable/disable feature macros to simplify their use.
- Use custom CFLAGS and LIBS variables for Makefiles to simplify maintenance.
- Update many feature checks from platform to function.
- Streamline many function checks.
- Correctly check gnutls, gcrypt and gpg-error libraries.
- Fix chromecast and spotify config and compile on FreeBSD
- Added inotify, signalfd and kqueue, and byte swap checks.
- Many clarifications of error messages.
- Correct json-c checks to properly use supplied CFLAGS.
- Correct many quoting inconsistencies
- Use __DATE__ in place of BUILDDATE
- Use full path for gperf and antlr3
- Remove unnecessary CFLAGS
- Added tests for pthread_setname_np parameters
- Added tests for clock_gettime and timer_settime
- Added tests for time.h
- Test if pthread, dl and rt libs are required/available.
- Updated checks for libunistring
Add a new general config setting allow_origin that is included as
Access-Control-Allow-Origin header in http responses. This allows to make http
request against forked-daapd from browsers with enabled CORS
(https://www.w3.org/TR/cors/) via JavaScript XMLHttpRequest.
Per default the setting is not defined and no Access-Control-Allow-Origin header
is included in the response.
