[plugin] [ORPHAN] ajw_debug

ajw_debug

• Surround blocks of code with <txp:ajw_debug allow="127.0.0.1,xx.xxx.xx.xx"> Hello world. </txp:ajw_debug>
• Should allow for nesting plugin tags or PHP
• Multiple IPs may be specified, separated by ‘,’

Download v0.1

The primary motivation for this was not being able to test locally and having plugins or php that I wanted to test out — but not publicly. Anyone know if using gethostbyaddr() would have any benefits over $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']? I welcome any additional suggestions.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ajw_debug

If you use gethostbyaddr(), be sure to check that gethostbyname(gethostbyaddr($ip)) == $ip before trusting it. It’s possible (though not common) to set up a bogus reverse DNS entry.

Currently it’s just checking REMOTE_ADDR; it seems pretty unlikely that a need otherwise would arise. Let me know of any funky behavior if you test it out.

Does anyone — off the top of their head — have a quick explanation as to why this method doesn’t work for rss/atom? (enclosed content gets parsed no matter what)

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ajw_debug

The RSS output function never calls parse(), so your tag handler isn’t executed.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] ajw_debug

thanks for that. Perhaps that should move to feature request? I don’t see any security weaknesses in implementing it, and it would allow for my plugin to work all-around ;-)
