Purpose
Stricter filtering of incoming filenames. Essentially, names on the wire should be in canonical shortest possible form -- no internal
.
or..
components, no double slashes, not be one of.
or..
, not be absolute (start with/
), not end with/
, not start with../
, and not be empty.(.stignore and similar special files should not be served, but it is not a protocol error to talk about them, it's a Syncthing specific limitation that we will not serve them. Coming in another PR.)
On Windows, files in index messages containing backslashes are filtered out with a warning. Requests for such files get an error return and a warning logged.
Testing
The filter methods have some unit tests on them.
Documentation
Requires additions to the spec to explain the restrictions we apply here.
@Unrud for review.
