Description

I have working (non-elegant) code working for doing a white/blacklist of mimetypes. Also checks max_file_size parameter!

Attachments (2)

Change History (11)

The non-elegant part is the javascript code that does an alert() instead of adding HTML.

Just FYI, you should apply both patches in the order they were submitted. Sorry for the inconvenience but I'm fresh at GIT!

To add multi-line parameters into mediagoblin.ini (which you probably want to do when listing many mimetypes), read this: http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/configobj.html#config-files

Milestone: 0.9.0

The general idea here looks good; I agree that we should provide a good way to blacklist/whitelist based on mimetype. Nonetheless, this needs some work:

  • A lot of divergences from PEP-8, please read up!
  • UNSAFE_MIMETYPES / SAFE_MIMETYPES defined, then immediately has its value replaced unconditionally. So why not just define it once each?
  • not sure what bMimeAllowed means or does?
  • The body of the conditionals for whitelist/blacklist appears identical, so maybe you could group the conditional check to something like:
   if (whitelist_check_here() OR blacklist_check_here()):
       body
  • tests are needed, I think

I think I need to wrap my head around the JS changes a bit more, but that's on me, not you.

Doing a check in JS before we hit the server is a great idea to reduce waiting on a big upload that doesn't go through!

bin/py.test --boxed --cov-report=term-missing --cov=mediagoblin mediagoblin/tests

shows that the test are not broken (which is good ;-) but also shows that the tests do not cover the modified files:

mediagoblin/edit/views.py 217 87 60% 59, 79, 96, 107-111, 116-214, 232-233, 243, 256, 258-260, 291-300, 313-333, 360-365, 375-419, 432, 461, 478, 493, 538-539
