+[[template id=plugin name=conditional core=1 author="[[Joey]]"]]
+[[tag type/useful]]
+
+This plugin allows files to be uploaded to the wiki over the web.
+
+For each page `foo`, files in the subdirectory `foo/` are treated as
+attachments of that page. Attachments can be uploaded and managed as
+part of the interface for editing a page.
+
+Warning: Do not enable this plugin on publically editable wikis, unless you
+take care to lock down the types and sizes of files that can be uploaded.
+Bear in mind that if you let anyone upload a particular kind of file
+("*.mp3" files, say), then someone can abuse your wiki in at least three ways:
+
+1. By uploading many mp3 files, wasting your disk space.
+2. By uploading mp3 files that attempt to exploit security holes
+ in web browsers or other players.
+3. By uploading files that claim to be mp3 files, but are really some
+ other kind of file. Some web browsers may display a `foo.mp3` that
+ contains html as a web page; including running any malicious javascript
+ embedded in that page.
+
+To provide a way to combat these abuses, the wiki admin can specify a
+[[ikiwiki/PageSpec]] on their preferences page, to control what types of
+attachments can be uploaded, and by whom. The regular [[ikiwiki/PageSpec]]
+syntax is expanded with additional tests.
+
+For example, to limit arbitrary files to 50 kilobytes, but allow
+larger mp3 files to be uploaded by joey, a test like this could be
+used:
+
+ (user(joey) and *.mp3 and maxsize(15mb)) or (!ispage() and maxsize(50kb))
+
+The following additional tests are available:
+
+* maxsize(size)
+
+ Tests whether the attachment is no larger than the specified size.
+ The size defaults to being in bytes, but "kb", "mb", "gb" etc can be
+ used to specify the units.
+
+* minsize(size)
+
+ Tests whether the attachment is no smaller than the specified size.
+
+* ispage()
+
+ Tests whether the attachment will be treated by ikiwiki as a wiki page.
+ (Ie, if it has an extension of ".mdwn", or of any other enabled page
+ format).
+
+ So, if you don't want to allow wiki pages to be uploaded as attachments,
+ use `!ispage()` ; if you only want to allow wiki pages to be uploaded
+ as attachments, use `ispage()`.
+
+* user(username)
+
+ Tests whether the attachment is being uploaded by a user with the
+ specified username. If openid is enabled, an openid can also be put here.
+
+* ip(address)
+
+ Tests whether the attacment is being uploaded from the specified IP
+ address.

+I guess I missed this when the plugin page was posted last September, and
+since the [[soc]] stuff wasn't updated, I didn't realize this was Ben's soc
+work. Which is more or less why I didn't look at it.
+
+This plugin would need quite a lot of work to finish up, I do think it was
+taking the right approach, sorry I never followed up on it.
+
+In the meantime, I've written an attachment plugin that does most of the
+same stuff, and behaves closer to how I originally sketched [[todo/fileupload]]
+as working.

+Stuff the [[plugins/attachment]] plugin is currently missing, that might be
+nice to add:
+
+* `mimetype()` pagespecs. (Using a mime type sniffer.)
+* Virus scanning.
+* Add a progress bar for attachment uploads (needs AJAX stuff..)
+* Maybe optimise the "Insert Links" button with javascript, so, if
+ javascript is available, the link is inserted at the current cursor
+ position in the page edit form, without actually reposting the form.
+ (Falling back to the current reposting of the form if javascript is not
+ available of course.)
+* Set `$CGI::POST_MAX` to some sane value (ie, larger than the largest
+ configured `maxsize()` in the pagespec, or if none is configured,
+ something reasonable. Just as a belt-and-suspenders DOS prevention.
+* Only allow attachments to be added to a given list of pages.
+ Maybe a pagespec like `parent(patches/*)`
