But that shouldn't be too hard to add. - Already mentioned above, but the actual state of get_template_and_user and checkauth completely forbids the use of Mojolicious controllers. We really need to rewrite C4::Auth - Not sure if it's a downside or not, but as OPAC and Intranet are on the same host:port, if you authenticate on OPAC you will be authenticated on Intranet too. This can probably be changed if it's really a problem. - ... see FIXME in the code Other remarks: - It uses the same mechanism as Plack::App::CGIBin to deal with CGI scripts, so it should be equivalent in terms of performance How to test ? - Run `morbo bin/koha`, then go to: - http://localhost:3000/ - Redirects to OPAC main page - Then navigate in the OPAC, searching for bugs - http://localhost:3000/intranet - Redirects to intranet main page - Then navigate in the Intranet, still searching for bugs - http://localhost:3000/api/v1/... - The REST API - Test the web installer - Read the code (and the comments), it's not very long -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
