[bug] MaxMind configuration does not allow account ID (API requirement) #267

Description

@kaerez

bug description:
MaxMind configuration in standalone (capjs) only allows entering a license key, but the current MaxMind API also requires an account ID for download. The GUI has no field for supplying the required account ID, causing downloads or updates to fail.

affects:

  • standalone
  • widget (ui)
  • widget (wasm solver)
  • js server
  • js solver

to reproduce:

  1. Go to the IP database settings of cap standalone
  2. Select MaxMind GeoLite2 as source
  3. Enter a valid license key
  4. Attempt to save/download
  5. Observe: download fails due to missing account ID or uses a deprecated endpoint

expected behavior:
There should be a field for MaxMind account ID. The backend should use the current MaxMind download URL that requires both account ID and license key via HTTP basic auth.

versions and environment:
Cap standalone, browser (any), any OS. As of June 2026, with current MaxMind download API requirements.
