36   === Security Considerations ===
37  
38   ==== 1. **IP Address Spoofing** ====
39     - Validates IPs against private ranges
40     - Filters proxy-provided IPs appropriately
41     - Configurable reverse proxy trust
42  
43   ==== 2. **Session Security** ====
44     - Binds sessions to IP address
45     - Binds sessions to TLS status
46     - Supports both file and database storage
47     - HttpOnly cookies by default
48  
49   ==== 3. **TLS Enforcement** ====
50     - Automatic HTTPS upgrade when configured
51     - Marks TLS sessions to prevent downgrade attacks
52     - HSTS header support
53  
54   ==== 4. **Content Security** ====
55     - CSP headers to prevent XSS
56     - X-Frame-Options to prevent clickjacking
57     - X-Content-Type-Options to prevent MIME sniffing
58     - Referrer-Policy control
59     - Permissions-Policy for browser features
60  
61   ==== 5. **File Serving** ====
62     - Validates file existence and readability
63     - Prevents directory traversal via ##realpath()##
64     - Rejects symbolic links
65     - Special CSP for SVG and PDF files
66  
67   ==== 6. **Cache Security** ====
68     - Cached only for anonymous users
69     - Disabled for sensitive operations (edit, watch)
70     - Only GET requests cached
71  
72   ----
73  
74   === Performance Optimization ===
75  
76   ==== 1. **Page Caching** ====
77     - Stores full HTML output
78     - TTL-based expiration
79     - Language and method-aware caching
80     - Conditional request support (304 Not Modified)
81  
82   ==== 2. **MIME Type Caching** ====
83     - Loads MIME types once and caches
84     - Regenerates only when config changes
85  
86   ==== 3. **Session Options** ====
87     - File-based sessions for simple deployments
88     - Database sessions for distributed systems
89  
90   ==== 4. **Compression** ====
91     - Manual gzip implementation
92     - Proper Content-Length generation
93     - Only compresses appropriate sizes

  48 **Parameters:**
  49 - `$db` - Database object reference
  50
  51 **Initialization Steps:**
  52 1. Stores database reference
  53 2. Extracts and normalizes REQUEST_URI
  54 3. Detects TLS/HTTPS session status
  55 4. Determines client's real IP address

  66 ## Core Methods
  67
  68 ### Session Management
  69
  70 #### `session($route): void`
  71 Initializes the session handler (file-based or database-based).
  72
  73 **Parameters:**
  74 - `$route` (int) - Routing flag:
  75   - Bit 2 (`$route & 2`): Enable static mode for files/freecap (disables replay prevention and ID regeneration)
  76
  77 **Features:**
  78 - Selects storage backend (file or database)
  79 - Configures cookie settings (security, path, httponly)
  80 - Binds IP and TLS validation
  81 - Recovers diagnostic logs from previous session
  82
  83 **Example:**
  84 ```php
  85 $http->session(0); // Normal session
  86 $http->session(2); // Static file serving mode
  87 ```
  88
  89 ---
  90
  91 ### Caching System
  92
  93 #### `check_cache($page, $method): void`
  94 Determines if a page can be cached and prepares the cache check.
  95
  96 **Parameters:**
  97 - `$page` (string) - Page name to cache
  98 - `$method` (string) - Request method/action (e.g., 'show', 'edit')
  99
  100 **Caching Rules:**
  101 - ✅ Enabled for GET requests only
  102 - ✅ Disabled for POST requests
  103 - ❌ Never cached for 'edit' or 'watch' methods
  104 - ✅ Only cached for anonymous users (no logged-in users)
  105
  106 **Example:**
  107 ```php
  108 $http->check_cache('HomePage', 'show');
  109 ```
  110
  111 ---
  112
  113 #### `store_cache(): void`
  114 Saves the generated page content to cache file.
  115
  116 **Features:**
  117 - Retrieves output buffer content
  118 - Saves to cache file with proper permissions
  119 - Records cache metadata in database
  120 - Only executes if caching flag is set and user is anonymous
  121
  122 **Example:**
  123 ```php
  124 // Called at end of page rendering
  125 $http->store_cache();
  126 ```
  127
  128 ---

  137 - Number of cache entries invalidated
  138
  139 **Process:**
  140 1. Finds all cached versions (different methods/languages)
  141 2. Touches files to past timestamp (faster than deletion)
  142 3. Removes entries from cache metadata table
  143 4. Returns count of invalidated caches
  144
  145 **Example:**
  146 ```php
  147 $count = $http->invalidate_page('HomePage');
  148 echo "Invalidated $count cache entries";
  149 ```

  569 ## Workflow Examples
  570
  571 ### Example 1: Handling a GET Request
  572
  573 ```php
  574 // In main wiki entry point
  575 $http = new Http($db);
  576 $http->session(0); // Start session
  577
  578 // Check if page can be served from cache
  579 $http->check_cache('HomePage', 'show');
  580
  581 // ... render page content ...
  582
  583 // Store rendered page in cache if applicable
  584 $http->store_cache();
  585
  586 // Send security headers
  587 $http->http_security_headers();
  588
  589 // Possibly compress output
  590 $http->gzip();
  591 ```
  592
  593 ### Example 2: Handling TLS/HTTPS Upgrade
  594
  595 ```php
  596 $http = new Http($db); // Constructor detects TLS requirement
  597 // If TLS is enabled and user wasn't in TLS before:
  598 // - Sets TLS session flag
  599 // - Marks session with TLS cookie
  600 // - Redirects to HTTPS version
  601 ```
  602
  603 ### Example 3: Invalidating Cache After Page Edit
  604
  605 ```php
  606 // User edits a page
  607 $http = new Http($db);
  608 $count = $http->invalidate_page('HomePage');
  609 // All cached versions (different languages, methods) are invalidated
  610 ```
  611
  612 ### Example 4: Serving a File
  613
  614 ```php
  615 $http = new Http($db);
  616 $http->session(2); // Static file mode - no session replay prevention
  617
  618 // Serve with 30-day cache
  619 $http->sendfile('uploads/manual.pdf', 'user-manual.pdf', 30);
  620 ```

  624 ## Security Considerations
  625
  626 ### 1. **IP Address Spoofing**
  627 - Validates IPs against private ranges
  628 - Filters proxy-provided IPs appropriately
  629 - Configurable reverse proxy trust
  630
  631 ### 2. **Session Security**
  632 - Binds sessions to IP address
  633 - Binds sessions to TLS status
  634 - Supports both file and database storage
  635 - HttpOnly cookies by default
  636
  637 ### 3. **TLS Enforcement**
  638 - Automatic HTTPS upgrade when configured
  639 - Marks TLS sessions to prevent downgrade attacks
  640 - HSTS header support
  641
  642 ### 4. **Content Security**
  643 - CSP headers to prevent XSS
  644 - X-Frame-Options to prevent clickjacking
  645 - X-Content-Type-Options to prevent MIME sniffing
  646 - Referrer-Policy control
  647 - Permissions-Policy for browser features
  648
  649 ### 5. **File Serving**
  650 - Validates file existence and readability
  651 - Prevents directory traversal via `realpath()`
  652 - Rejects symbolic links
  653 - Special CSP for SVG and PDF files
  654
  655 ### 6. **Cache Security**
  656 - Cached only for anonymous users
  657 - Disabled for sensitive operations (edit, watch)
  658 - Only GET requests cached
  659
  660 ---
  661
  662 ## Performance Optimization
  663
  664 ### 1. **Page Caching**
  665 - Stores full HTML output
  666 - TTL-based expiration
  667 - Language and method-aware caching
  668 - Conditional request support (304 Not Modified)
  669
  670 ### 2. **MIME Type Caching**
  671 - Loads MIME types once and caches
  672 - Regenerates only when config changes
  673
  674 ### 3. **Session Options**
  675 - File-based sessions for simple deployments
  676 - Database sessions for distributed systems
  677
  678 ### 4. **Compression**
  679 - Manual gzip implementation
  680 - Proper Content-Length generation
  681 - Only compresses appropriate sizes
  682

  685 ## Debugging
98 686
99 687 The class integrates with WackoWiki's diagnostic system:
100 688
101   %%php
  689 ```php
102 690 // Diagnostic messages are preserved across redirects
103 691 // via session flash data
104 692
105 693 // Check cached pages (debug comments in output):
106 694 // <!-- WackoWiki Caching Engine: page cached at 2024-01-15 12:30:45 GMT -->
107   %%
