The path as passed in the fragment request data structure was used verbatim in the dispatcher and other locations. This possibly allowed requests to walk around ACLs by requesting '/some/safe/place/../../../dangerous' as a fragment.

The REST plugin would let you call any method on the model.

Allowed all actions on GET.

NAME

Jifty::LetMe - A way to expose single-link URLs to your applications

new

Create a new "LetMe" authentication object; it takes no parameters. It calls "_init" to do any initialization.

_init @_

Called with whatever "new" was called with. By default, does nothing.

user

Contains an app-specific "user" object.

validated_current_user

If the user has presented a valid token, returns an (app-specific subclass of the) Jifty::CurrentUser object for the user who has the email address in $self->email. If no user has that email address, returns undef.

_user_from_email ADDRESS

Returns an (app-specific subclass of the) Jifty::CurrentUser object for the user who has the email address ADDRESS.

generate_checksum

Returns an auth checksum for the current combination of

user
token
until

from_token PATH

Parse a string of the form

mylongusername@example.com/update_task/23/until/20050101/bekidrikufryvagygefuba

into

     email => mylongusername@example.com,
     token => 'update_task/23'
     until => 20050101,
     checksum_provided => bekidrikufryvagygefuba

as_token

Returns the "letme" token for this set of credentials. This should round trip cleanly with from_token

as_encoded_token

A variant of as_token that encodes the user's email address suitably for passing in a URL

as_url

Returns the fully qualified URL for this LetMe. It's composed of Jifty->web->url, "base_path" and "as_encoded_token"

base_path

By default, all "LetMe" actions live at URLs under '/let' inside your application. Override this subroutine to change that.

By default, it returns '/let'

validate

Returns true if the credentials the user presented validate ok. Returns false otherwise.

_correct_checksum_provided

Returns true if the checksum the user provided is correct. Doesn't actually do much input checking. You want to call "validate"
