The machine that hosts a feed and the machine that downloads the audio do
not have to be the same, and usually shouldn't be: a datacentre IP is
treated very differently from a home connection by the larger video sites.
Downloading where the person actually is sidesteps that entirely, and means
the server needs no credentials for or route to the source.
- push/ingest: `podkit push` uploads a local library to a remote
`serve --ingest`, asking for a manifest first so only the difference is
sent. Uploads land via a temp file and rename, so an interrupted transfer
cannot be picked up as a short episode. Ingest is off by default and
refuses to start without a token.
- get: downloads a direct audio URL or every enclosure in an RSS feed,
with no extractor involved. Numbers RSS items in reverse so a mirrored
series plays in order rather than backwards.
Two bugs found by running it rather than by testing it:
- A tokened server produced enclosure URLs with no token. The feed loaded,
listed every episode, and all of them 404'd in a real client — the whole
point of the tool, broken in the default configuration. Feeds now carry
the token; regression test asserts enclosures from a tokened feed
actually resolve against a tokened server.
- Ingest ran filepath.Base before validating, so "../evil.mp3" was stored
as "evil.mp3" — contained, but under a name the client never asked for,
leaving push and the server disagreeing about the library. Names are now
validated raw and rejected.
Also: identify with a real user-agent (libsyn 403s Go's default), write
feed.xml via rename so a polling client never reads a truncated feed, and
match ingested file permissions to downloaded ones.
