* Add certificate pinning on https service requests
Make https requests to the server using node apis instead of browser apis, so we
can specify our own CA list, which contains only our own CA.
This protects us from MITM by a rogue CA.
As a bonus, this let's us drop the use of non-standard ports and just use good
ol' default 443 all the time, at least for http requests.
// FREEBIE
* Make certificateAuthorities an option on requests
Modify node-based xhr implementation based on driverdan/node-XMLHttpRequest,
adding support for setting certificate authorities on each request.
This allows us to pin our master CA for requests to the server and cdn but not
to the s3 attachment server, for instance. Also fix an exception when sending
binary data in a request: it is submitted as an array buffer, and must be
converted to a node Buffer since we are now using a node based request api.
// FREEBIE
* Import node-based xhr implementation
Add a copy of https://github.com/driverdan/node-XMLHttpRequest@86ff70e, and
expose it to the renderer in the preload script.
In later commits this module will be extended to support custom certificate
authorities.
// FREEBIE
* Support "arraybuffer" responseType on requests
When fetching attachments, we want the result as binary data rather than a utf8
string. This lets our node-based XMLHttpRequest honor the responseType property
if it is set on the xhr.
Note that naively using the raw `.buffer` from a node Buffer won't work, since
it is a reuseable backing buffer that is often much larger than the actual
content defined by the Buffer's offset and length.
Instead, we'll prepare a return buffer based on the response's content length
header, and incrementally write chunks of data into it as they arrive.
// FREEBIE
* Switch to self-signed server endpoint
* Log more error info on failed requests
With the node-based xhr, relevant error info are stored in statusText and
responseText when a request fails.
// FREEBIE
* Add node-based websocket w/ support for custom CA
// FREEBIE
* Support handling array buffers instead of blobs
Our node-based websocket calls onmessage with an arraybuffer instead of a blob.
For robustness (on the off chance we switch or update the socket implementation
agian) I've kept the machinery for converting blobs to array buffers.
// FREEBIE
* Destroy all wacky server ports
// FREEBIE
saveIdentityWithAtttributes allows directly setting all properties of an
identity key record. In AccountManager we use it to save our own identity
key after a new registration.
Previously we would remove the existing key first in order to coerce firstUse to
true, but now we can simply set it explicitly, along with a VERIFIED status.
// FREEBIE
Multiple cases here:
1. setting our own key on registration
1. changing identities from a safety number change dialog
Note that removeIdentityKey runs before saveIdentity, so we'll always end up
with firstUse: true on our own key.
// FREEBIE
Previously we would delete our own key from the trust store when
re-linking, in case it changed. We can also immediately take one step
further and store the new key. Typically this happens in the course of
requesting sync info from the master device, except in the case of
standalone clients.
Closes#596
// FREEBIE
Fix bug where re-installing would cause sync messages to fail and
produce unresolvable error indicators on messages that were actually
sent.
// FREEBIE
When we re-register, our deviceId might change, which makes our sessions
are no longer valid since the recipient will see us as a new device.
Fixes#388
Previously would fail to register keys by using the wrong username.
The username should be <number>.<deviceid> once we've confirmed our
account and received a deviceId from the server.
// FREEBIE
Following the pattern from previous commit, let the server class accept
a url and login credentials from the caller. Then integrate into
MessageReceiver and AccountManager.
// FREEBIE
This new endpoint should always issue a response to a provisioning
socket so if we don't receive one we should assume the connection has
been lost.
Closes#318
Protocol and handling is all analogous to contact sync: Multiple
GroupDetails structs are packed into a single attachment blob and parsed
on our end. We don't display the synced groups in the conversation list
until a new message is sent to one of them.
