As per discussion with filter list maintainers.
To perform object pruning for any given call which has an object
as argument (hence "inbound").
Since `json-prune-stringify` scriptlet is a specific form of
pruning inbound objects, it has been removed.
The arguments for `trusted-prune-inbound-object` in order are:
- The name of the property to trap. Must be a function, and must
exist when the scriptlet tries to install the trap.
- The position of the object to prune in the argument list when
the trapped function is called. The position is 1-based and
must be an integer greater than 0.
- The properties to prune (as with `json-prune`)
- The properties which must all be present for pruning to occur
(as with `json-prune`)
- Varargs:
- `, dontOverwrite, 1`: do not modify the target inbound object
Examples:
Remove `title` and `name` properties before passing the object to
`JSON.stringify` call:
example.org##+js(trusted-prune-inbound-object, JSON.stringify, 1, title name)
Remove `status` property before passing the object to `Object.keys`
call but do not modify caller's instance of the object:
example.org##+js(trusted-prune-inbound-object, Object.keys, 1, status, , dontOverwrite, 1)
When the target world of a scriptlet is the ISOLATED one,
skip Blob-based injection in Firefox, as the current world
is always the ISOLATED one. This should make ISOLATED
world-based scriptlets more reliable (i.e. execute sooner)
in Firefox.
(In addition to in already supported single- and double-quote).
The parsing of (optionally) quoted arguments from an argument
list has been spinned off into a standalone helper in order to
be reused in other parts of the parser eventually.
The `urltransform` option allows to redirect a non-blocked network
request to another URL. There are restrictions on its usage:
- require a trusted source -- thus uBO-maintained lists or user
filters
- the `urltransform` value must start with a `/`
If at least one of these conditions is not fulfilled, the filter
will be invalid and rejected.
The requirement to start with `/` is to enforce that only the path
part of a URL can be modified, thus ensuring the network request
is redirected to the same scheme and authority (as defined at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Identifier#Syntax).
Usage example (redirect requests for CSS resources to a non-existing
resource, for demonstration purpose):
||iana.org^$css,urltransform=/notfound.css
Name of this option is inspired from DNR API:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/declarativeNetRequest/URLTransform
This commit required to bring the concept of "trusted source" to
the static network filtering engine.
