URL localization in Lenya - sitemap

I am trying to localize Lenya publication URLs.
I store URL translation in the Document metadata and rewrite urls with URLRewriter transformator.
e.g. I build
/lenya/default/authoring/en/home
from
/lenya/default/authoring/index.html
But I can't find a simple way to force Lenya to tranlate incoming request URI back to the original path: /lenya/default/authoring/index.html
Really I want to process the request via pipelines using the original URL, not translated.
Is it possible at all? I had tried to add a servlet filter and use dispatcher, but filter can't access documents metadata because Environment object isn't in the processing stack yet at this stage...
(At this moment I see only one way - to update CocoonServlet and Cocoon classes)
Thanks!

I was able to do this via a RequestListener.
In the public void onRequestStart(Environment environment) method I create RequestWrapper with a new real URL and put it into objectModel. Also I change Environment context with a real URL: env.setContext("", realUrl, env.getContext())
This works fine!

Full Media URL in Strapi

The Strapi API responds the media URLs as something like "url:'/uploads/thumbnail.png'".
I would like to get the complete URL that links to my file as value for "url". For example: "url:'https://example.org/uploads/thumbnail.png'"
The documentation also shows the full URL as response. How can I achieve this?
The full URLs come from using an upload provider such as AWS-S3 or Cloudinary. The local provider doesn't support full URLs at the moment.
There are some potentials reasons why you shouldn’t store a full URL, and respond with a full URL. I won’t dive into those reasons.
I suggest creating the entire request/response, or creating a middleware component to intercept the response.
Then you can modify the original url value with the site’s URL. Looping through the results with something like:
const serverHost = strapi.config.get('server.host', 'defaultValueIfUndefined');
url = serverHost + url;
See the following docs for more details:

Destroy image from cloudinary

when I delete the image from my graphql server and using uploader.upload.destroy(public_id), it deletes from media library of cloudinary (https://cloudinary.com/console/media_library/folders/%2F)
but image is still available If I access it via cloudinary endpoint (https://res.cloudinary.com/db9rcrnuw/image/upload/v1576054005/47122.png)
I want to destroy those endpoints as well when the image is deleted.
here, screen.basePath means public_Id of the image
const screen = await ctx.prisma
.deleteScreen({
id: args.screenId
})
.$fragment(fragment);
if (scrn.basePath.length === 5) {
console.log(scrn.basePath.length);
cloudinary.uploader.destroy(screen.basePath, function(error, result) {
console.log(result, error);
});
return screen;
}
The short answer is that this is caused by a combination of not using the 'invalidate' parameter in your destroy API call and a difference between which URL format (i.e. with a version number (v123456789), 'v1' or no version number) the resource is accessed using versus what format your account is configured to send for invalidation.
The first thing to do is ensure that all destroy API calls include the 'invalidate' parameter set to 'true' if you'd like CDN invalidation.
Regarding the URL formats;
The 'v1576054005' that is part of delivery URLs is a version number that is essentially the UNIX timestamp of the upload time of the asset. Its main purpose is to always return the latest image and avoid CDN caching (upload API responses return the URL with the latest upload version). A bit more information on this topic can be found in this article - https://support.cloudinary.com/hc/en-us/articles/202520912-What-are-image-versions.
Please note that there are three possible URL formats Cloudinary can send for invalidation at the CDN, and these are outlined here: https://support.cloudinary.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001208732-What-URL-conventions-are-invalidated
Invalidation requests are sent when you delete or overwrite an image using the Media Library UI, or when you use the SDK/API, and also provide the 'invalidate' parameter, set to 'true'.
By default, all accounts send invalidations for the default format of URL which the SDKs produces, which uses no version number for assets in the root of your account, and a 'v1' placeholder for assets in folders (option 1 from the URL above).
If you were accessing the image with the full version component then that isn't sent for invalidation by default and why you are likely getting a cached copy returned.
In your case, the URL that would've been sent for invalidation would be without a version component (as the resource is in the root folder) i.e.
https://res.cloudinary.com/db9rcrnuw/image/upload/47122.png
Depending on how you are building your URLs, i.e., if you're using the SDK helper methods, taking the URL from the url or secure_url fields of the Upload API response (which use the full version number), will determine the format and thus how your account should be configured to invalidate.
I suggest you to email Cloudinary support (support#cloudinary.com) and share a link to this thread as well as some details on how the URLs you're using are generated so that your account can be configured accordingly.

MVC3 OutputCache not working on Server and Client as expected

I'm having trouble using the OutputCache attribute in Microsoft's MVC3 framework.
Please imagine the following controller action, which can be used as part of an AJAX call to get a list of products based on a particular manufacturerId:
public JsonResult GetProducts(long manufacturerId)
{
return Json(this.CreateProductList(manufacturerId), JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
I want this result to be cached on the server to avoid making excessive database queries. I can achieve this by configuring the attribute thus:
[OutputCache(Duration = 3600, Location = OutputCacheLocation.Server, VaryByParam = "manufacturerId")]
This works as I expected - the browser makes an intitial request which causes the server to create and cache the result, subsequent requests from the same or different browser get the cached version.
But... I also want the browser to cache these results locally; if I filter first on manufacturer X, then Y then go back to X, I don't want it to make another request for X's products - I want it to just use its cached version.
I can make this happen, by changing the OutputCache to this:
[OutputCache(Duration = 3600, Location = OutputCacheLocation.Client)]
Here's the question: how do I combine these so that I can have both sets of behaviour? I tried setting the Location to ServerAndClient but this just made it behave the same as when Location was Server.
I'm sure that the problem has something to do with the "Vary: *" response header I get with ServerAndClient but I don't know how to get rid of it.
I welcome comments about the rationality of my intentions - the fact that I'm not getting the results I expect makes me think I might have some fundamental misunderstanding somewhere...
Many thanks.
PS: This is on a local dev environment, IIS Express from VS2010.
You can use OutputCacheLocation.Any which specifies
The output cache can be located on the browser client (where the
request originated), on a proxy server (or any other server)
participating in the request, or on the server where the request was
processed. This value corresponds to the HttpCacheability.Public
enumeration value.
You may want to also set Cache-control public to in the HTTP header for these requests.
Edit
It seems, depending on your .Net version of the web server you may need to include Response.Cache.SetOmitVaryStar(true); within your controller action to remove the Vary * headers as you suggest.
Details of the reason why in .Net 4 breaking changes release notes.

Windows phone 7 - How to use HTTPWebRequest to POST / GET data from a .jsp site[with cookies]

Title sums it up fairly well.
Said site has cookies, I need to post data from a textbox as a value on said site, and get one of two variables back. I was reading through some tutorials and a few Windows phone 7 books. None of them were related to what I was trying to do. They only dealt with single whole files or something that could be made into a URL. I could also do it that way if someone had a way to also use cookies and just send it as a url [but i do not know how to construct the url in such a way to make that a realistic solution].
You should be able to send cookie's using code like:
CookieContainer container = new CookieContainer();
container.Add(new Uri("http://yoursite"), new Cookie("name", "value"));
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://yoursite");
request.CookieContainer = container;
request.BeginGetResponse(new AsyncCallback(GetData), request);
Code borrowed from HttpWebRequest and Set-Cookie header in response not parsed (WP7)
If the server is expecting to use cookies (e.g. for authentication) then there is no way that you'll be able to use form variables/query parameters instead.
You need to use a tool called Fiddler to inspect the calls that the website currently makes - this will include a mixture of:
cookie variables - especially for authentication
get variables - passed within the url path
and post variables - passed within the body of the request
If you do need to do a full POST, then you will need to set variables like - request.Method and request.ContentType - and you will need to brovide a RequestStream. There are libraries you can use like HAMMOCK to help - or I've got some example code in iron7 - see the DoCodePost method at the botom of this uploader class - or take a look at lots of other projects on CodePlex and GitHub.

Http Modules are called on every request when using mvc/routing module

I am developing a http module that hooks into the FormsAuthentication Module through the Authenticate event.
While debugging i noticed that the module (and all other modules registered) gets hit every single time the client requests a resource (also when it requests images, stylesheets, javascript files (etc.)).
This happens both when running on a IIS 7 server in integrated pipeline mode, and debugging through the webdev server (in non- integrated pipeline mode)
As i am developing a website with a lot images which usually wont be cached by the client browser it will hit the modules a lot of unnessecary times.
I am using MVC and its routing mechanishm (System.Web.Routing.UrlRoutingModule).
When creating a new website the runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests attribute for the IIS 7 (system.webServer) section is per default set to true in the web.config, which as the name indicates make it call all modules for every single request.
If i set the runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests attribute to false, no modules will get called.
It seems that the reason for this is because of the routing module or mvc (dont know excactly why), which causes that the asp.net (aspx) handler never gets called and therefore the events and the modules never gets called (one time only like supposed).
I tested this by trying to call "mydomain.com/Default.aspx" instead of just "mydomain.com/" and correctly it calls the modules only once like it is supposed.
How do i fix this so it only calls the modules once when the page is requested and not also when all other resources are requested ?
Is there some way i can register that all requests should fire the asp.net (aspx) handler, except requests for specific filetype extensions ?
Of course that wont fix the problem if i choose to go with urls like /content/images/myimage123 for the images (without the extension). But i cant think of any other way to fix it.
Is there a better way to solve this problem ?
I have tried to set up an ignoreRoute like this routes.IgnoreRoute("content/{*pathInfo}"); where the content folder contains all the images, javascripts and stylesheets in seperat subfolders, but it doesnt seem to change anything.
I can see there a many different possibilites when setting up a handler but I cant seem to figure out how it should be possible to setup one that will make it possible to use the routing module and have urls like /blog/post123 and not call the modules when requesting images, javascripts and stylesheets (etc.).
Hope anyone out there can help me ?
Martin
The problem seems to be the routing module.
The solution is to move images, css, js to a subdomain, or you can probably register which filetypes/extensions the routing module should ignore.
The following code is what I use in every MVC Application in order to avoid the overhead caused by the routing system on serving static files, javascript, css, etc:
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.RouteExistingFiles = false;
routes.LowercaseUrls = true;
routes.AppendTrailingSlash = true;
routes.IgnoreRoute("Content/{*pathInfo}");
routes.IgnoreRoute("Scripts/{*pathInfo}");
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.IgnoreRoute("{*favicon}", new { favicon = #"(.*/)?favicon.ico(/.*)?" });
/* ... */
}
