- Don't check the protocol in `checkFileTypes`, it should be doing one
thing only, and that is check whether the URL ends with a particular
file extension.
- Raise an error when a URI object can't be created from the passed in URL
Adds new function `isAllowedProtocolForMedia` which checks whether the
URL points to a file on the file system (`file:`), is in a Chrome
extension or uses HTTPs.
Use that in `shouldRenderMediaFromURL` to filter out URLs that shouldn't
be rendered.
Re-add utility methods to the `u` object so that 3rd party plugins can
use them.
This allows for more flexibility in configuring which media URLs will
automatically render and which media URLs may be manually rendered by
the user (via the message actions dropdown).
For example, suppose you want to automatically render all media URLs
from https://xmpp.org, but still allow other media (which won't render
by default) to be rendered manually by the user (by clicking the "Show
URL previews" message dropdown action).
In this case, you set `render_media` to `['xmpp.org']` and
`allowed_image_domains` to `null` or `undefined`.
Or if you want to automatically render images from xmpp.org, and
restrict the domains users might manually click to render, you can add
those extra domains to `allowed_image_domains`.
even if the global configuration is to disallow it.
* When parsing, include all media URLs, not just the ones from allowed domains.
That makes it possible to change allowed domains on-the-fly,
while still allowing media in individual messages to be shown manually
(via the message actions dropdown).
* Merge `embed_audio`, `embed_video` and `show_images_inline` into `render_media`
* Create new config settings for allowable domains for images, video and audio
* Check the URL domain against a whitelist for the message actions dropdown
