Generate HTML documentation using MkDocs (WIP)
MkDocs is a static site generator geared towards building project documentation.
Documentation source files are written in Markdown, and configured with a single YAML file.
* http://www.mkdocs.org/
* http://www.mkdocs.org/user-guide/configuration/
Ref. #312
* remove pandoc-generated HTML documentation
* move markdown doc to doc/md/,
* mkdocs.yml:
* generate HTML doc in doc/html
* add pages TOC/ordering
* use index.md as index page
* Makefile: remove execute permissions from generated files
* Makefile: rewrite htmlpages GFM to markdown conversion using sed:
awk expression aslo matched '][' which causes invalid output on complex links with images or code blocks
* Add mkdocs.yml to .gitattributes, exclude this file from release archives
* Makefile: rename: htmldoc -> doc_html target
* run make doc: pull latest markdown documentation from wiki
* run make htmlpages: update html documentation

1 | ## Usage | ||
2 | |||
3 | See the [REST API documentation](http://shaarli.github.io/api-documentation/). | ||
4 | |||
5 | ## Authentication | ||
6 | |||
7 | All requests to Shaarli's API must include a JWT token to verify their authenticity. | ||
8 | |||
9 | This token has to be included as an HTTP header called `Authentication: Bearer <jwt token>`. | ||
10 | |||
11 | JWT resources : | ||
12 | |||
13 | * [jwt.io](https://jwt.io) (including a list of client per language). | ||
14 | * RFC : https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7519 | ||
15 | * https://float-middle.com/json-web-tokens-jwt-vs-sessions/ | ||

19 | ### Shaarli JWT Token | ||
20 | |||
21 | JWT tokens are composed by three parts, separated by a dot `.` and encoded in base64: | ||
22 | |||
23 | ``` | ||
24 | [header].[payload].[signature] | ||
25 | ``` | ||
26 | |||
27 | #### Header | ||
28 | |||
29 | Shaarli only allow one hash algorithm, so the header will always be the same: | ||
30 | |||
31 | ```json | ||
32 | { | ||
33 | "typ": "JWT", | ||
34 | "alg": "HS512" | ||
35 | } | ||
36 | ``` | ||
37 | |||
38 | Encoded in base64, it gives: | ||
39 | |||
40 | ``` | ||
41 | ewogICAgICAgICJ0eXAiOiAiSldUIiwKICAgICAgICAiYWxnIjogIkhTNTEyIgogICAgfQ== | ||
42 | ``` | ||
43 | |||
44 | #### Payload | ||
45 | |||
46 | **Validity duration** | ||
47 | |||
48 | To avoid infinite token validity, JWT tokens must include their creation date in UNIX timestamp format (timezone independant - UTC) under the key `iat` (issued at). This token will be accepted during 9 minutes. | ||
49 | |||
50 | ```json | ||
51 | { | ||
52 | "iat": 1468663519 | ||
53 | } | ||
54 | ``` | ||
55 | |||
56 | See [RFC reference](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7519#section-4.1.6). | ||
57 | |||
58 | |||
59 | #### Signature | ||
60 | |||
61 | The signature authenticate the token validity. It contains the base64 of the header and the body, separated by a dot `.`, hashed in SHA512 with the API secret available in Shaarli administration page. | ||
62 | |||
63 | Signature example with PHP: | ||
64 | |||
65 | ```php | ||
66 | $content = base64_encode($header) . '.' . base64_encode($payload); | ||
67 | $signature = hash_hmac('sha512', $content, $secret); | ||
68 | ``` | ||
69 | |||
70 | |||
71 | ### Complete example | ||
72 | |||
73 | #### PHP | ||
74 | |||
75 | ```php | ||
76 | function generateToken($secret) { | ||
77 | $header = base64_encode('{ | ||
78 | "typ": "JWT", | ||
79 | "alg": "HS512" | ||
80 | }'); | ||
81 | $payload = base64_encode('{ | ||
82 | "iat": '. time() .' | ||
83 | }'); | ||
84 | $signature = hash_hmac('sha512', $header .'.'. $payload , $secret); | ||
85 | return $header .'.'. $payload .'.'. $signature; | ||
86 | } | ||
87 | |||
88 | $secret = 'mysecret'; | ||
89 | $token = generateToken($secret); | ||
90 | echo $token; | ||
91 | ``` | ||
