*This patch is the result of me starting to look into moving parameters from `PDFJS` into `getDocument` and other API methods.*
When familiarizing myself with the code, the signatures of the various network streams seemed to be unnecessarily cumbersome since `disableRange` is currently handled separately from other parameters.
I'm assuming that the explanation for this is probably "for historical reasons", as is often the case. Hence I'd like to clean this up *before* we start the larger, and more invasive, `PDFJS` parameter re-factoring.
Nothing uses this option anymore, so setting it is a no-op now. We can
safely remove it.
Use `SKIP_BABEL` (instead of `PDFJS_NEXT`) now if you want to skip Babel
translation for a build.
I don't have a good example at hand right know, but I recall seeing custom deployments of PDF.js that bundle a *specific* version of the `build/pdf.js` file and then set `PDFJS.workerSrc` to point to https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/build/pdf.worker.js.
That practice seems really bad since, besides (obviously) causing unnecessary server load, it will very quickly result in a version mismatch between the `pdf.js` and `pdf.worker.js` files in those PDF.js deployments.
Such a version mismatch could easily lead to either breaking errors, or even worse slightly inconsistent behaviour for an API call (if the API -> Worker interface changes, which does happen from time to time).
To avoid the problems described above, I'm thus proposing that we enforce that the versions of the `pdf.js` and `pdf.worker.js` files must always match.
The `DOMParser` is most likely overkill and may be less secure.
Moreover, it is not supported in Node.js environments.
This patch replaces the `DOMParser` with a simple XML parser. This
should be faster and gives us Node.js support for free. The simple XML
parser is a port of the one that existed in the examples folder with a
small regex fix to make the parsing work correctly.
The unit tests are extended for increased test coverage of the metadata
code. The new method `getAll` is provided so the example does not have
to access internal properties of the object anymore.
Currently `PDFFunction` is implemented (basically) like a class with only `static` methods. Since it's used directly in a number of different `src/core/` files, attempting to pass in `isEvalSupported` would result in code that's *very* messy, not to mention difficult to maintain (since *every* single `PDFFunction` method call would need to include a `isEvalSupported` argument).
Rather than having to wait for a possible re-factoring of `PDFFunction` that would avoid the above problems by design, it probably makes sense to at least set `isEvalSupported` globally for `PDFFunction`.
Please note that there's one caveat with this solution: If `PDFJS.getDocument` is used to open multiple files simultaneously, with *different* `PDFJS.isEvalSupported` values set before each call, then the last one will always win.
However, that seems like enough of an edge-case that we shouldn't have to worry about it. Besides, since we'll also test that `eval` is actually supported, it should be fine.
Fixes 5573.
