|
This is a quick and dirty document to get you on your way to writing
|
|
custom URI filters for your own URL filtering needs. Why would you
|
|
want to write a URI filter? If you need URIs your users put into
|
|
HTML to magically change into a different URI, this is
|
|
exactly what you need!
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Creating the class</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Any URI filter you make will be a subclass of <code>HTMLPurifier_URIFilter</code>.
|
|
The scaffolding is thus:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>class HTMLPurifier_URIFilter_<strong>NameOfFilter</strong> extends HTMLPurifier_URIFilter
|
|
{
|
|
var $name = '<strong>NameOfFilter</strong>';
|
|
function prepare($config) {}
|
|
function filter(&$uri, $config, &$context) {}
|
|
}</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Fill in the variable <code>$name</code> with the name of your filter, and
|
|
take a look at the two methods. <code>prepare()</code> is an initialization
|
|
method that is called only once, before any filtering has been done of the
|
|
HTML. Use it to perform any costly setup work that only needs to be done
|
|
once. <code>filter()</code> is the guts and innards of our filter:
|
|
it takes the URI and does whatever needs to be done to it.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you've worked with HTML Purifier, you'll recognize the <code>$config</code>
|
|
and <code>$context</code> parameters. On the other hand, <code>$uri</code>
|
|
is something unique to this section of the application: it's a
|
|
<code>HTMLPurifier_URI</code> object. The interface is thus:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>class HTMLPurifier_URI
|
|
{
|
|
var $scheme, $userinfo, $host, $port, $path, $query, $fragment;
|
|
function HTMLPurifier_URI($scheme, $userinfo, $host, $port, $path, $query, $fragment);
|
|
function toString();
|
|
function copy();
|
|
function getSchemeObj($config, &$context);
|
|
function validate($config, &$context);
|
|
}</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The first three methods are fairly self-explanatory: you have a constructor,
|
|
a serializer, and a cloner. Generally, you won't be using them when
|
|
you are manipulating the URI objects themselves.
|
|
<code>getSchemeObj()</code> is a special purpose method that returns
|
|
a <code>HTMLPurifier_URIScheme</code> object corresponding to the specific
|
|
URI at hand. <code>validate()</code> performs general-purpose validation
|
|
on the internal components of a URI. Once again, you don't need to
|
|
worry about these: they've already been handled for you.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>URI format</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
As a URIFilter, we're interested in the member variables of the URI object.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<table class="quick"><tbody>
|
|
<tr><th>Scheme</th> <td>The protocol for identifying (and possibly locating) a resource (http, ftp, https)</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><th>Userinfo</th> <td>User information such as a username (bob)</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><th>Host</th> <td>Domain name or IP address of the server (example.com, 127.0.0.1)</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><th>Port</th> <td>Network port number for the server (80, 12345)</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><th>Path</th> <td>Data that identifies the resource, possibly hierarchical (/path/to, ed@example.com)</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><th>Query</th> <td>String of information to be interpreted by the resource (?q=search-term)</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><th>Fragment</th> <td>Additional information for the resource after retrieval (#bookmark)</td></tr>
|
|
</tbody></table>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Because the URI is presented to us in this form, and not
|
|
<code>http://bob@example.com:8080/foo.php?q=string#hash</code>, it saves us
|
|
a lot of trouble in having to parse the URI every time we want to filter
|
|
it. For the record, the above URI has the following components:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<table class="quick"><tbody>
|
|
<tr><th>Scheme</th> <td>http</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><th>Userinfo</th> <td>bob</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><th>Host</th> <td>example.com</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><th>Port</th> <td>8080</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><th>Path</th> <td>/foo.php</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><th>Query</th> <td>q=string</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><th>Fragment</th> <td>hash</td></tr>
|
|
</tbody></table>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note that there is no question mark or octothorpe in the query or
|
|
fragment: these get removed during parsing.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
With this information, you can get straight to implementing your
|
|
<code>filter()</code> method. But one more thing...
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Return value: Boolean, not URI</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
You may have noticed that the URI is being passed in by reference.
|
|
This means that whatever changes you make to it, those changes will
|
|
be reflected in the URI object the callee had. <strong>Do not
|
|
return the URI object: it is unnecessary and will cause bugs.</strong>
|
|
Instead, return a boolean value, true if the filtering was successful,
|
|
or false if the URI is beyond repair and needs to be axed.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Let's suppose I wanted to write a filter that de-internationalized domain
|
|
names by converting them to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punycode">Punycode</a>.
|
|
Assuming that <code>punycode_encode($input)</code> converts <code>$input</code> to
|
|
Punycode and returns <code>false</code> on failure:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>class HTMLPurifier_URIFilter_ConvertIDNToPunycode extends HTMLPurifier_URIFilter
|
|
{
|
|
var $name = 'ConvertIDNToPunycode';
|
|
function filter(&$uri, $config, &$context) {
|
|
if (is_null($uri->host)) return true;
|
|
if ($uri->host == utf8_decode($uri->host)) {
|
|
// is ASCII, abort
|
|
return true;
|
|
}
|
|
$host = punycode_encode($uri->host);
|
|
if ($host === false) return false;
|
|
$uri->host = $host;
|
|
return true;
|
|
}
|
|
}</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Notice I did not <code>return $uri;</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Activating your filter</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Having a filter is all well and good, but you need to tell HTML Purifier
|
|
to use it. Fortunately, this part's simple:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>$uri =& $config->getDefinition('URI');
|
|
$uri->addFilter(new HTMLPurifier_URIFilter_<strong>NameOfFilter</strong>());</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you want to be really fancy, you can define a configuration directive
|
|
for your filter and have HTML Purifier automatically manage whether or
|
|
not your filter gets loaded or not (this is how internal filters manage
|
|
things):
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>HTMLPurifier_ConfigSchema::define(
|
|
'URI', '<strong>NameOfFilter</strong>', false, 'bool',
|
|
'<strong>What your filter does.</strong>'
|
|
);
|
|
$uri =& $config->getDefinition('URI', true);
|
|
$uri->registerFilter(new HTMLPurifier_URIFilter_<strong>NameOfFilter</strong>());
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Now, your filter will only be called when %URI.<strong>NameOfFilter</strong>
|
|
is set to true.
|
|
</p>
