Summing the sizes of each cached file every time is very inefficient.
Instead we can simply store the cache size in an constant and increase
it everytime a file is added into the cache.
Running `crystal spec` without a file argument essentially produces one
big program that combines every single spec file, their imports, and
the files that those imports themselves depend on. Most of the types
within this combined program will get ignored by the compiler due to a
lack of any calls to them from the spec files.
But for some types, partially the HTTP module ones, using them within
the spec files will suddenly make the compiler enable a bunch of
previously ignored code. And those code will suddenly require the
presence of additional types, constants, etc. This not only make it
annoying for getting the specs working but also makes it difficult to
isolate behaviors for testing.
The `static_assets_handler_spec.cr` causes this issue and so will be
marked as an isolated spec for now. In the future all of the tests
should be organized into independent groupings similar to how the
Crystal compiler splits their tests into std, compiler, primitives and
interpreter.
Overriding `#call` or patching out `serve_file_compressed` provides
only minimal benefits over the ease of maintenance granted by only
overriding what we need to for the caching behavior.
Kemal's subclass of the stdlib `HTTP::StaticFileHandler` is not as
maintained as its parent, and so misses out on many enhancements and bug
fixes from upstream, which unfortunately also includes the patches for
security vulnerabilities...
Though this isn't necessarily Kemal's fault since the bulk of the stdlib
handler's logic was done in a single big method, making any changes hard
to maintain. This was fixed in Crystal 1.17.0 where the handler
was refactored into many private methods, making it easier for an
inheriting type to implement custom behaviors while still leveraging
much of the pre-existing code.
Since we don't actually use any of the Kemal specific features added by
`Kemal::StaticFileHandler`, there really isn't a reason to not just
create a new handler based upon the stdlib implementation instead which
will address the problems mentioned above.
This PR implements a new handler which inherits from the stdlib variant
and overrides the helper methods added in Crystal 1.17.0 to add the
caching behavior with minimal code changes. Since this new handler
depends on the code in Crystal 1.17.0, it will only be applied on
versions greater than or equal to 1.17.0. On older versions we'll
fallback to the current monkey patched `Kemal::StaticFileHandler`
textcaptcha.com seems to be down since April and it does not appear that
service will be restored.
Text captchas can be easily automated using free LLMs, so keeping the
text captcha is more like a gate to create accounts in mass on public
Invidious instances.
It also gives headaches like bots automating account creation to modify
the videos that appear popular page of each instance (since the popular
page is based on the subscriptions of the registered users).
