[Phpmyadmin-devel] discussing wiki changes
by Isaac Bennetch 05 Feb '11

05 Feb '11

Hello, For those of you who are involved with the wiki, there are a few large changes we're discussing. Michal proposed that this might be the best vehicle for discussion, which seems to make good sense to me. First: Marc basically suggested creating subcategories for "Google Summer of Code"; that would be the parent category with subcategories like "Google Summer of Code 2011". Then pages like "GSoC 2011 Ideas List" would be in "Category: Google Summer of Code 2011" which would then in turn be "Category: Google Summer of Code". "GSoC 2011 Ideas List" would not appear directly in "Google Summer of Code". Any objections? Second: It's been proposed to completely abandon namespaces (such as Devel:) -- in some cases they can help, such as when a page clearly belongs only to one namespace or the other, but many of our pages (for instance, the GSoC pages) either live in the wrong namespace or could be assigned to both. I do agree that everything currently in Devel: belongs there, but some things in the (Main) namespace probably belong in Devel: and it might be easier to administrate only one namespace...Then we wouldn't have to think about (or discuss) which namespace a page belongs to or move it if content changes. What do you think?

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Visualizing GIS data.
by Madhura Jayaratne 05 Feb '11

05 Feb '11

Hi all, I read about the project idea 'Zoom search' [0] on GSoC 2011 Ideas List and I think the concept applies to GIS data more than anything else. Unlike other data types spatial data almost always needs a graphic visualizer to make it more useful. Unless visualized you can't figure out what the the data relates to, can'f figure out geographical data in your head without projecting longitude/latitude pairs onto a map. So I propose a data visualizer for GIS data as a part of 'OpenGIS support' [1], suggested in GSoC 2011 Ideas List. Zooming, text on hovering and other actions suggested under Zoom search would make this visualization also a source for search and clicking on an item would take you to browse the corresponding data. This would make GIS data compatible with Zoom search proposed. I would much appreciate your comments on this idea.

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Redirecting external links
by Michal Čihař 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

Hi all when going to other page, browsers sends Referer header to the next server. This could obviously leak some information from the original website. Given that we might include in URL possibly sensitive information (eg. SQL query), I've added redirector (url.php) inside phpMyAdmin, what hides all the parameter and all what the next site can see is <PmaAbsoluteUri>/url.php?url=<URL where you go>. On the other side, user might want to hide <PmaAbsoluteUri> as well. This can be only achieved by using some external redirector, for example we could place one at phpmyadmin.net. Any opinions about that? PS: The referrer should not be sent when original site is using HTTPS, quoting RFC: > Clients SHOULD NOT include a Referer header field in a > (non-secure) HTTP request if the referring page was transferred with > a secure protocol. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com

[Phpmyadmin-devel] AllowArbitraryServer and synchronisation
by Michal Čihař 31 Jan '11

31 Jan '11

Hi all for security reasons we have chosen AllowArbitraryServer to be disabled by default. On the other side we have synchronization feature which allows to connect to arbitrary server as well and fetch any data from it. I think this disproportion should be fixed. I can see two approaches: 1. The other option would be to drop AllowArbitraryServer completely as right now it really does not bring any security. 2. Make AllowArbitraryServer really work as expected: - Make AllowArbitraryServer enabled by default. I don't think the risk is too big and many people would use this feature. - If AllowArbitraryServer is set to false, disallow synchronization with arbitrary server as well. But maybe I'm missing some other possibility. Comments? -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com
