Server improvements

[Wikinaut]

Server ouput

add new fields for

• clickcounts "clicks":""
• UTC timestamp of last change "upd":"YYYYMMDDHHMMSS"
• UTC timestamp of last data validation "ok":"YYYYMMDDHHMMSS"
• md5 : per station entry: md5 (or sha1 or sha256, but md5 is fine here) hash of all data "md5":""
• coding method (MP3, OGG, ...) (if known)
• bitrate indication (CBR, VBR) (128/64/36) and/or value HQ / MQ / LQ (if known)
• use PRETTY_PRINT in PHP json_encode( ..., PRETTY_PRINT) for nicer output

  new endpoints

• add new endpoint /modified-after/YYYYMMDDHHMMSS which results in all records which were modified after the indicated date
• compact output formats for results: instead of presenting the whole record(s), only respond with md5 hash and upd timestamp only

  implement a server method to link different stream entries for the same radio station/program

Example: MP3-HQ-128, MP3-MQ-64, OGG-VBR-HQ, OGG-VBR-MQ, OGG-VBR-LQ-MONO (example: Deutschlandradio Kultur) This might require a modification of the JSON/XML output. Or link different entries by a "handle" which glues the different stream entries.

User interface UX

• add a flag "report invalid stream url", which the user can click in the app, and which flags the station data as "possibly broken"
• give users the hint text how to add several tags (comma-separated)

  Sanitize all inputs and outputs

• XSS protection
• check and validate inputs, e.g. protocol handler
• normalize tag entries (currently, tags are separated by "," like "tag1, tag2, tag3"). There was no information, that commas must be used.
