Module: check_mk Branch: master Commit: f8ffb7079b0c41d374516eed5cb3af62c6a27334 URL: http://git.mathias-kettner.de/git/?p=check_mk.git;a=commit;h=f8ffb7079b0c41… Author: Lars Michelsen &lt;lm(a)mathias-kettner.de&gt; Date: Wed May 16 19:18:51 2018 +0200 6096 Check_MK GUI is now shipped via mod_wsgi as WSGI application This change should be seamless for most users, but may be interesting especially for users that use custom GUI extensions. In case you only use the GUI as it is and are not interested in technical details, you can skip the following details. With this change we replaced mod_python apache module with mod_wsgi. Mod_python has been "deprecated" for several years. These days all modern python based web applications are built using the WSGI standard. There are a lot of implementations of WSGI applications out there. To have a smooth transition we decided to use the mod_wsgi apache module as application server for the GUI. It is now shipped with Check_MK instead of mod_python. We have made the necessary changes to the GUI to work as WSGI application. Some other cleanups and modifications have been made on the way. <ul> <li>Move index file to dedicated app folder as recommended for WSGI apps</li> <li>Move several things from htmllib.html to dedicated helper classes <ul> <li>http.Request -> HTTP request parsing (from WSGI env)</li> <li>http.Response -> HTTP response processing (for WSGI)</li> <li>htmllib.TimeoutManager -> Handle GUI task timeouts</li> <li>htmllib.TransactionManager -> Mange GUI action transaction IDs</li> </ul> </li> <li>Cleaned up several other things in the htmllib and parent classes</li> </ul> The following changes have been made to the htmllib.html API: html.set_cookie() -> html.response.set_cookie() html.del_cookie() -> html.response.del_cookie() html.get_request_header() -> html.request.get_request_header() html.lowlevel_write() -> html._lowlevel_write() html.remote_ip() -> html.request.remote_ip html.is_ssl_request() -> html.request.is_ssl_request html.request_method() -> html.request.request_method html.get_user_agent() -> html.request.user_agent html.get_referer() -> html.request.referer html.requested_url() -> html.request.requested_url html.request_uri() -> html.request.requested_url html.http_redirect() -> html.response.http_redirect() html.client_request_timeout() -> html.request.request_timeout html.get_cookie_names() -> html.request.get_cookie_names() html.has_cookie() -> html.request.has_cookie() html.cookie() -> html.request.cookie() html.uploaded_file() -> html.request.uploaded_file() html.request_timeout() -> html.request.request_timeout html.get_request_timeout() -> html.request.request_timeout html.set_ignore_transids() -> html.transaction_ids.ignore() html.get_transid() -> html.transaction_ids.get() html.store_new_transids() -> html.transaction_ids.store_new() html.urlencode_plus() -> html.urlencode() Dropped things: html.add_keybinding() html.add_keybidings() html.disable_keybindings() html.keybindings_enabled html.keybindings html.RETURN html.SHIFT html.CTRL html.ALT html.BACKSPACE html.F1 html.u8() html.utf8_to_entities() html.varencode() Change-Id: I233d3361ba52bb9a3db353c3d7c1a6018defb19e --- .werks/6096 | 81 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 81 insertions(+) diff --git a/.werks/6096 b/.werks/6096 new file mode 100644 index 0000000..2eaa12f --- /dev/null +++ b/.werks/6096 @@ -0,0 +1,81 @@ +Title: Check_MK GUI is now shipped via mod_wsgi as WSGI application +Level: 2 +Component: multisite +Compatible: compat +Edition: cre +Version: 1.6.0i1 +Date: 1526490553 +Class: feature + +This change should be seamless for most users, but may be interesting +especially for users that use custom GUI extensions.
