no images/css

[Eric Betts]

Thank you for writing this plugin, it helps me with having an externally available trac instance. I did notice that css and images don't show up though, which is a problem for external vendors who may think I'm unprofessional. I fixed this by adding '/chrome' to the paths list in filter.py, and I thought it might be a change other people would want as well.

Thanks for report, my static resources are ​served directly by Apache, so I didn't notice the issue.

Adding /chrome/site and /chrome/common to the exclusion list should be enough to close the issue.

Fixed in [8146] - try new version.

Disclaimer: I don't use the plugin or know anything about its code, I just noticed this one change by 'accident' :-)

For the change to make sense, you really need to exclude all /chrome. Plugins that adds own static resources extend the /chrome namespace. Most plugins will likely be blocked by your plugin before they get a chance to serve their static content (like my FullBlogPlugin that serves under /chrome/tracfullblog/, but something like a Theme-type plugin will make the problem quite apparent as that is intended to change the overall layout and look-and-feel for all requests.

Thanks for review. I intentionally did not include all /chrome requests as the purpose of this plugin is to exclude requests from anonymous users to all Trac parts except login. I am not sure that /chrome/plugin access will not trigger some plugin code and that the code will not be a source of information leaks.

Do you know how /chrome/plugin resources are processed?

Replying to techtonik:

Do you know how /chrome/plugin resources are processed?

All /chrome/<something> is processed by the Trac Chrome module. It looks in static resources for plugins depending on what the plugin has registered. No code is executed on the server, it is a straight resource lookup just as it is for common and site which are the two basic locations/namespaces known on to an environment.

[anatoly techtonik]

I must admit that I am unable to find information on t.e.o. about how plugins register their resources and where these resources are placed.

[osimons]

See trac.web.chrome.ITemplateProvider interface - for this particular purpose get_htdocs_dirs() method that plugins use to return locations for static resources with corresponding path prefix.

Need more round tuits. For now documented some behavior at ​http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracDev/TracURLs

[anatoly techtonik]

Ok. Relaxed filter in r9695.
