Optimizely - update 384

Release summary

New features and bug fixes for Optimizely Content Cloud. 

Released items November 16, 2021

Area ID Type Description Released
CMS-20707
  Forward the scheme for Linux and non-IIS reverse proxies

Fixed an issue where the Linux container setup introduced a kind of proxy or firewall that Windows hosting did not have. This caused the local container IP (::ffff:169.254.129.1) to be sent to the Peerius APIs. This issue was addressed by adding Episerver.Tracking and Episerver.Personalization to our sites.

  Multi-site content language not resolved correctly with localhost and port

In a multi-site scenario, locally (with localhost and separate port numbers), content language was not determined correctly because the code in EPiServer.Globalization.Internal.HostLanguageResolver was only comparing the host name, and not the port number.

  LinkValidator threw exception

Steps to reproduce: 

  1. Install Alloy.
  2. Update EPiServer.CMS package to 11.15.1.
  3. Compile and build.
  4. On start page, add a Button block in a content area.
  5. Enter required text.
  6. In link, click external and paste the JavaScript:
    javascript:void(location.href='mailto:' + String.fromCharCode(106,111,104,97,110,46,97,110,116,105,108,97,64,111,112,116,105,109,105,122,101,108,121,46,99,111,109))
  7. Save and publish block and page.
  8. Go to admin.
  9. Run Link Validator job.

An exception caused the job to fail and stop executing, instead of marking it as an invalid link and ignoring it going forward, to complete with a summary of scanned links and failed links.

  Added support for attributes on static client resources

Added support for attributes on static client resources.

The class EPiServer.Framework.Web.Resources.ClientResource.cs should have a dictionary of attributes that are added to the html element.

Example:
