Follows a read-only review of the podcast code. It confirmed the address rules (every resolved address public, the connection pinned, each redirect rechecked, no proxy read from the environment, DTDs refused) and raised three points this PR settles.

What changes

A channel lists at most its newest 500 episodes. Episodes are never purged: a refresh adds what a feed newly names and keeps the rest. So a daily show grew every listing by about 365 rows a year, and getPodcasts, which answers every channel with its episodes by default, read them one channel at a time.

  • The listing now keeps the newest MAX_EPISODES_LISTED per channel. That bound is the per-feed one, 500.
  • Episodes past the bound that are completed or downloading are still listed. They hold a share of the quota, and the listing is where an administrator deletes them.
  • Every channel is read in one statement, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY channel_id …), then grouped by channel.
  • episode_count still counts every episode.

An https address may not redirect to http. This is refused whatever WAVEFLOW_PODCAST_ALLOW_HTTP says. The switch admits feeds and enclosures served in clear; it does not let a secure address hand its request, and a private feed's token, to a clear one. The check sits in next_hop, which every redirect goes through, and it covers feeds, enclosures, covers and station images.

The subscribe field says the show is shared. Every account sees the show and can play its downloaded episodes, and only administrators see the feed address. The text is linked to the field by aria-describedby.

Plain http stays allowed by default, for the many enclosures still served that way. docs/privacy.md already documented that choice and now mentions the downgrade rule.

Tests

  • tests/podcasts.rs, a_channel_lists_its_newest_episodes_and_every_stored_one, checks two cases:
    • One channel with 514 episodes, one of them stored past the bound. It lists 501: the newest 500 in order, then the stored one. episode_count is 514.
    • getPodcasts over two channels. Each channel gets back only its own episodes.
  • podcast::tests::a_redirect_never_leaves_https_for_http checks https→https, relative paths, http→https and http→http, and refuses https→http, including an uppercase HTTP://.
  • The Playwright spec checks the field's accessible description.

Every test was inverted, and each inversion made its test fail:

Inversion Result
No bound 514 listed
Stored episodes not kept 500 listed
Episodes not grouped by channel 0 listed
Downgrade check disabled Ok(http://…)
aria-describedby removed empty description

cargo fmt --check, clippy -D warnings, the full cargo test --all-features, biome and the podcast Playwright spec (23 passed, 1 skipped) all pass.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Nouvelles fonctionnalités

    • Les listes de podcasts affichent les épisodes les plus récents, dans la limite prévue par flux. Les épisodes déjà téléchargés ou en cours de téléchargement restent visibles, et le nombre indiqué correspond au total d’épisodes enregistrés.
    • Le formulaire d’abonnement précise que les émissions et épisodes téléchargés sont visibles par tous les comptes de l’instance, tandis que l’adresse du flux est réservée aux administrateurs.
  • Corrections

    • Les redirections d’un flux podcast de HTTPS vers HTTP sont désormais refusées, même lorsque les flux HTTP sont autorisés.

…ading redirect

Episodes are never purged, so a channel's listing grew with every refresh,
and getPodcasts, which answers every channel with its episodes by default,
read them one channel at a time. A channel now lists its newest 500, plus
any stored or downloading past them, all in one ranked statement.
episode_count still counts every episode.

A redirect from https to http is refused whatever
WAVEFLOW_PODCAST_ALLOW_HTTP says, so a private feed's token is never
handed on in clear. The subscribe field now says that every account sees
the show and can play its episodes.

Walkthrough

Les redirections de podcast ne peuvent plus passer de HTTPS à HTTP. La liste des épisodes est limitée par chaîne, tout en conservant les épisodes terminés ou en téléchargement. Le formulaire d’abonnement précise qui peut voir les émissions, les épisodes téléchargés et l’adresse du flux.

Changes: Redirections des podcasts

Layer / File(s) Summary
Résolution et validation des redirections
src/podcast.rs, docs/privacy.md
next_hop refuse les transitions de HTTPS vers HTTP, quelle que soit la valeur de WAVEFLOW_PODCAST_ALLOW_HTTP. Les tests couvrent les transitions acceptées et refusées, y compris les schémas en majuscules. La documentation précise que les adresses initiales en HTTP restent admises selon ce réglage.

Liste des épisodes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Limite et récupération des épisodes
src/services/podcasts.rs, src/services/mod.rs, tests/podcasts.rs
La récupération trie les épisodes par date, titre et identifiant, puis limite la liste par chaîne. Les épisodes completed et downloading restent inclus au-delà de la limite. episode_count indique le nombre total d’épisodes détenus.

Visibilité des podcasts

Layer / File(s) Summary
Indication de visibilité accessible
webapp/src/pages/podcasts-page.tsx, webapp/src/state/i18n.tsx, webapp/e2e/smart-playlists-and-podcasts.spec.ts
Le formulaire associe une description accessible au champ d’adresse du flux. Les traductions indiquent que tous les comptes peuvent voir les émissions et écouter les épisodes téléchargés, tandis que seuls les administrateurs voient l’adresse du flux.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in src/podcast.rs: La documentation précise qu’une redirection ne peut pas faire passer une requête de HTTPS à HTTP, quel que soit le réglage autorisant les flux ou fichiers joints en HTTP.
  • observed — Modified behavior in src/podcast.rs: Ajout de next_hop, qui résout la cible avec current.join et renvoie FetchError::Destination lors d’une transition de HTTPS vers HTTP; les autres cibles résolues sont retournées.
  • observed — Modified behavior in src/podcast.rs: open délègue désormais la résolution de la cible de redirection à next_hop, au lieu d’appeler directement current.join; les échecs de résolution restent signalés comme FetchError::Redirects, tandis qu’une rétrogradation HTTPS vers HTTP est refusée comme Destination.
  • observed — Modified behavior in src/podcast.rs: Ajout d’un test vérifiant que les redirections HTTPS vers HTTPS, les chemins relatifs depuis HTTPS et les redirections HTTP vers HTTP ou HTTPS sont acceptés, tandis que les redirections HTTPS vers HTTP, y compris avec le schéma en majuscules, renvoient FetchError::Destination.

Ajoutez une assertion pour les cibles scheme-relative.

Le commentaire annonce la couverture des cibles //host/..., mais le test ne vérifie aucune valeur Location commençant par //. Les cas absolus et path-relative ne couvrent pas cette forme de résolution. Ajoutez l’assertion suivante pour détecter une régression de url::Url::join :

Suggested fix
         assert_eq!(
             next_hop(&secure, "/moved.xml").unwrap().as_str(),
             "https://feeds.example.org/moved.xml"
         );
+        assert_eq!(
+            next_hop(&secure, "//cdn.example.org/show.xml")
+                .unwrap()
+                .as_str(),
+            "https://cdn.example.org/show.xml"
+        );

Une cible scheme-relative conserve le schéma HTTPS de la base. Elle ne constitue donc pas, avec url::Url::join, une transition HTTPS vers HTTP. Le manque concerne la couverture de cette forme de résolution, pas un échec actuel de next_hop.

@coderabbitai Outside-diff note on src/podcast.rs (scheme-relative targets): fixed in a7d35cb. The test now asserts that //cdn.example.org/show.xml resolves to https from an https hop and to http from an http hop. Its doc comment no longer claims a scheme-relative target can downgrade: it keeps the scheme it came from.
