#== HTTP Class Technical Documentation
## ==
===
Overview ===
The `Http` Http class (`src/class/http.php`) (src/class/http.php) is a core component of the WackoWiki system responsible for handling HTTP request/response processing, session management, caching, and security features. This class acts as a bridge between the web server and the wiki engine.
File Location: `src/class/http.php`** src/class/http.php Language: PHP
Dependencies: Database class, Session classes, Utility classes (`Ut`), (Ut), Diagnostics class (`Diag`)

===<!--markup:2:end--> Workflow Examples

<!--markup:1:begin-->###<!--markup:1:end--> <!--markup:2:begin-->===

====<!--markup:2:end--> Example 1: Handling a GET Request

<!--markup:1:begin-->	
`php
====
php<!--markup:2:end-->
// In main wiki entry point
$http = new Http($db);
$http->session(0);  // Start session

// Check if page can be served from cache
$http->check_cache('HomePage', 'show');

// ... render page content ...

// Store rendered page in cache if applicable
$http->store_cache();

// Send security headers
$http->http_security_headers();

// Possibly compress output
$http->gzip();
<!--markup:1:begin-->```

###<!--markup:1:end-->
<!--markup:2:begin-->	

Example 2: Handling TLS/HTTPS Upgrade
`php<!--markup:1:end--> <!--markup:2:begin-->====

%%php<!--markup:2:end-->
$http = new Http($db);  // Constructor detects TLS requirement
// If TLS is enabled and user wasn't in TLS before:
// - Sets TLS session flag
// - Marks session with TLS cookie
// - Redirects to HTTPS version
<!--markup:1:begin-->	
` ###
====<!--markup:2:end--> Example 3: Invalidating Cache After Page Edit

<!--markup:1:begin-->```php<!--markup:1:end--> <!--markup:2:begin-->====	
php
// User edits a page $http = new Http($db); $count = $http->invalidate_page('HomePage'); // All cached versions (different languages, methods) are invalidated
`

<!--markup:1:begin-->	
`php
====
php<!--markup:2:end-->
$http = new Http($db);
$http->session(2);  // Static file mode - no session replay prevention

// Serve with 30-day cache
$http->sendfile('uploads/manual.pdf', 'user-manual.pdf', 30);

Security Considerations ###===

1. IP Address Spoofing====
  • Validates IPs against private ranges
  • Filters proxy-provided IPs appropriately
  • Configurable reverse proxy trust ### ==== 2. Session Security ====
  • Binds sessions to IP address
  • Binds sessions to TLS status
  • Supports both file and database storage
  • HttpOnly cookies by default ### ==== 3. TLS Enforcement ====
  • Automatic HTTPS upgrade when configured
  • Marks TLS sessions to prevent downgrade attacks
  • HSTS header support ### ==== 4. Content Security ====
  • CSP headers to prevent XSS
  • X-Frame-Options to prevent clickjacking
  • X-Content-Type-Options to prevent MIME sniffing
  • Referrer-Policy control
  • Permissions-Policy for browser features ### ==== 5. File Serving ====
  • Validates file existence and readability
  • Prevents directory traversal via `realpath()` realpath()
  • Rejects symbolic links
  • Special CSP for SVG and PDF files ### ==== 6. Cache Security ====
  • Cached only for anonymous users
  • Disabled for sensitive operations (edit, watch)
  • Only GET requests cached
    ##

    ===
    Performance Optimization ### ===

1. Page Caching====
  • Stores full HTML output
  • TTL-based expiration
  • Language and method-aware caching
  • Conditional request support (304 Not Modified) ### ==== 2. MIME Type Caching ====
  • Loads MIME types once and caches
  • Regenerates only when config changes ### ==== 3. Session Options ====
  • File-based sessions for simple deployments
  • Database sessions for distributed systems ### ==== 4. Compression ====
  • Manual gzip implementation
  • Proper Content-Length generation
  • Only compresses appropriate sizes

    ===
    Debugging === The class integrates with WackoWiki's diagnostic system:
    `php<!--markup:1:end-->
    
    <!--markup:2:begin-->%%php<!--markup:2:end-->
    // Diagnostic messages are preserved across redirects
    // via session flash data
    
    // Check cached pages (debug comments in output):
    // <!-- WackoWiki Caching Engine: page cached at 2024-01-15 12:30:45 GMT -->
    <!--markup:1:begin-->

    Related Classes ===
  • Session Classes (`SessionFileStore`, `SessionDbalStore`)** (SessionFileStore, SessionDbalStore) - Session management backends
  • Database Class - Configuration and cache metadata storage
  • Ut Utility Class - String/path utilities
  • Diag Class - Diagnostic logging
    ##

    ===
    Version History ===
  • Supports PHP 8.0+ (uses match expressions, union types)
  • Follows RFC 9110 for HTTP header handling
  • Modern cookie security practices

    ===
    Conclusion === The `Http` Http class is the central request/response handler in WackoWiki, managing everything from session initialization to security headers to file serving. Understanding this class is essential for:
  • Extending WackoWiki with custom request handlers
  • Implementing custom session logic
  • Adding new security policies
  • Optimizing cache strategies
  • Debugging HTTP-related issues
