Sympa::Req...ndler::decl(3Sympa)

✨ NAME ✨

Sympa::Request::Handler::decl — the decl request handler, bestie 💅

It lives in the 3Sympa manual, and it's part of sympa — we're talking version 6.2.80 here, periodt.

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so here's the vibe: this handler goes and fetches the request that matches on the {authkey} attribute, plus the optional {request} attribute, and it pulls that request out of the held request spool.

And if all that goes well? It removes it from the spool. Gone. Deleted. Not me cleaning up after you 🧹✨

---

💀 CAVEAT 💀

Heads up bestie, this is the important part, no cap.

The decl request handler itself never checks privileges. Like, never. It just trusts the sender as long as a valid authorization key is specified. That's it. That's the whole security model. 😭

So access to this handler should be restricted sufficiently by applications. Like, that's on you and your app, not on this handler. Please gatekeep responsibly 🫶
