- YouTube has started responding to video page requests with localised content when requested from certain IPs, with that localised content not containing the required `<link rel="alternate" ...>` tag pointing to the oembed endpoint
- we were fetching video pages rather than the oembed endpoint for YouTube Live URLs because they are not recognised by the oembed extraction library we use
- by modifying the URL from a live URL to a watch URL before we perform oembed lookup/extraction we are able to bypass the (localised) page fetch and instead grab the oembed content directly
https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/20445
- after switching to a browser-like user-agent, YouTube started responding with a "supported browsers" message rather than the actual video meaning bookmark creation failed
- when trying other user-agents it was discovered that nytimes.com (why the user-agent was originally changed) had a problem with the github.com address in the user-agent. By switching to using https://ghost.org instead the request was allowed through fixing both YouTube and NYTimes embeds
closes https://linear.app/tryghost/issue/ENG-762
- nytimes.com and other sites return 403 responses when requests do not match typical browser user-agents
- our bookmark fetching requests were using `Ghost(https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost)` meaning bookmark creation failed for these user-agent-blocking sites
- switched to using a standard browser user-agent string to avoid such blocks
closes https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/20028
It's fairly common practice for oembed providers to skip some of the "required" fields from the oembed spec such as `height` when it doesn't make sense for the embeddable content, this was the case with Bluesky embeds which return `height: null`
- removed validation for `height` being present in the response for it to be recognised as an embed because we don't use it anywhere and the validation is blocking otherwise valid embeds
fixes https://github.com/TryGhost/Product/issues/4237
- this fixes the fact that we return a HTTP 500 response when the oembed
library receives an error, such as a 401 or 403
- includes special handling for cases where we want to return a slightly
different error message
- also adds unit tests for @tryghost/oembed-service package
refs. https://linear.app/tryghost/issue/DES-122/bookmark-card-issues
This PR addresses the following content card related problems:
1. The design of the following cards are more self-contained so it makes
more sense to use `px` for their font-sizes and spacings so it looks the
same regardless of the theme. Of course themes still can override these
values.
Updated cards to use `px` for font sizing:
- audio
- bookmark
- file
- product
2. So far header and signup cards had been using `rem` for font-sizes
and some sizing. This commit updates these to use `em` instead so that
it's consistent with all other cards.
3. The favicon sometimes is not available for bookmark cards. This PR also
fixes that by providing a default favicon for these cases.

- issue reported via the forum https://forum.ghost.org/t/video-embed-break-page-on-mobile/44172
- due to historical issues we check against http/https and non-www/www URLs to match an oembed provider in case our library's provider list is out of date. However we checked http first which could match and then update the original URL to be `http` in place of `https` leading to potentially broken oembed fetch requests as was the case with http://odysee.com URLs

- Added a recheck for recommendation related webmentions after boot (to
check missed webmentions during down time)
- Increased general timeouts to 15s for all webmention related HTTP
requests. Instead, increased retries to 3.
- Increased timeout for fetching webmention metadata from 2s to 15s
- Added more logging about verification and deletion status of
webmentions
no issue
- recently added code to grab apple touch icons or SVGs before falling back to the default metascraper behaviour wrongly assumed that every size would have a `rel` and `href` attribute which is not the case
- this dependency seems a pretty heavy one to require upon boot and
given most sites don't need it to function as normal, this saves
several MB of RAM per instance
As discussed with the product team we want to enforce kebab-case file names for
all files, with the exception of files which export a single class, in which
case they should be PascalCase and reflect the class which they export.
This will help find classes faster, and should push better naming for them too.
Some files and packages have been excluded from this linting, specifically when
a library or framework depends on the naming of a file for the functionality
e.g. Ember, knex-migrator, adapter-manager
refs TryGhost/Ghost#16048
- When attempting to embed a Youtube video that has had embedding
disabled by its owner/author, Ghost displayed a generic error message
that didn't indicate the reason for the failed emebed.
- This change updated the error message when Youtube (or any provider)
returns 401: Unauthorized to indicate that the owner of the resource has
explicitly disabled embedding.
- by default, got retries failed requests, which is causing issues in
tests because we've disabled the network with `nock`
- this is causing huge idle time because got pauses before retrying
- this change disables the retries if we're running tests, so things are
more stable

-upgraded got from v9.6.0 to v11.8.6 to support following redirects (and
other fixes)
-got v12+ requires ESM, so we do not want to upgrade further at this
time
-required changes to a few libraries that use externalRequests
-mention discovery service tests updated to test for follow redirects

- When fetching content using a non-standard charset, characters were notproperly decoded to utf-8 resulting in mangled text in the editor -> Detect charset and use iconv to decode the page text
- When requesting a non bookmark card, if no oembed data could be foundand we fallback to bookmark, a second network request to fetch the content was issued. This seemed unnecessary -> refactored to avoid that
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Toolbox/issues/363
- the oembed service is completely standalone and could do with some
individual unit tests
- moving it out to a package allows us to draw the boundaries better and
allows us to remove some dependencies from the core package.json
