visitsb / meteorserver Goto Github PK

Hello

MeteorServer works well in the latest Chrome but unfortunately it fails in IE10 and I have tried to make it work but I'll have to admit that my Javascript skills are very lacking.

Has someone got it working for IE10?

Feature-request: A configurable escaping mechanism.

Currently, when receiving messages to be used in browsers I have to escape quotes because the output mechanism simply puts quotes around them, for example:
Meteor.process(id,"channel","text");

It's probably best to do a full string escape here, such as JSON does on double-quotes strings:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3020094/how-should-i-escape-strings-in-json
However, ADDMESSAGE will not accept \r\n anyway because that signifies the end of the message, so these should be pre-escaped anyway by external software, and then unescaped in meteord. This way, the strings are received exactly the same as they are submitted.

I believe having the escaping be done automatically is better. However it should not be done for every transport mechanism. For example, I have an extra mechanism for plain connections which do their own parsing, which has the following MessageTemplate:
text\r\n

This should do no escaping, or at most escaping \r and \n (but as these need to be pre-escaped this is not useful).

We run this meteor server for 10 years now, hasn't crashed once.
But thimes are changing and we would like to use it over https.
Any idea how to?

There are a couple of places that .co.uk domains don't seem to work. I've patched them as follows:

meteor.js:

    extract_xss_domain: function(old_domain) {
            if (old_domain.match(/^(\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3}$/)) return old_domain;
            domain_pieces = old_domain.split('.');
           tld = domain_pieces[domain_pieces.length - 1];
            if (tld == "com" || tld == "net" || tld == "org") {
               return domain_pieces.slice(-2, domain_pieces.length).join(".");
            } else { // a .co.uk or .org.uk account
               return domain_pieces.slice(-3, domain_pieces.length).join(".");
            }
    },

poll.html:

var thisdomain = document.domain;
var topdomain
var tld = domainparts[domainparts.length - 1];
if (tld == "com" || tld == "net" || tld == "org") {
topdomain = domainparts[domainparts.length-2]+"."+domainparts[domainparts.length-1];
} else { // a .co.uk or .org.uk account
topdomain = domainparts[domainparts.length-3]+"."+domainparts[domainparts.length-2]+"."+domainparts[domainparts.length-1];
}
document.domain=topdomain

They seem to work OK on my hosts now.

plss :)

I get this when I try to start meteord the usual way:

user@host:~/git/meteorserver/src$ ./meteord -d

Dear,

It's not really a troll, but I'm wondering if you heard about https://www.meteor.com/. Or if you guys are somehow related? Because, they achieved your goal in a quiet elegant manner!

Thanks for the answer!
