hgweb: add a sendtemplate() helper function This pattern is common. Let's make a helper function to reduce boilerplate. We store the "global" template on the requestcontext instance and use it. The templater used by the helper function is the same templater that's passed in as an argument to the @webcommand functions. It needs to be this way because various commands are accessing and mutating the defaults on the templater instance. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2799

hgweb: use web.req instead of req.req We now have access to the modern request type on the requestcontext instance. Let's access it from there. While we're here, remove an unused argument from _search(). Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2798

hgweb: stop setting headers on wsgirequest All commands now go through the new response API. This is dead code. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2797

hgweb: always return iterable from @webcommand functions (API) We had to hack up this function to support our transition to the new response API. Now that we're done with the transition (!!), we can return to returning an iterator of content chunks from these functions. It is tempting to return a normal object and not a generator. However, as the keyword extension demonstrates, extensions may wish to wrap commands and have a try..finally block around execution. Since there is a generator producing content and that generator could be executing code, the try..finally needs to live for as long as the generator is running. That means we have to return a generator so wrappers can consume the generator inside a try..finally. .. api:: hgweb @webcommand functions must use the new response object passed in via ``web.res`` to initiate sending of a response. The hgweb WSGI application will no longer start sending the response automatically. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2796

hgweb: send errors using new response API Our slow march off of wsgirequest continues. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2795

hgweb: refactor 304 handling code We had generic code in wsgirequest for handling HTTP 304 responses. We also had a special case for it in the catch all exception handler in the WSGI application. We only ever raise 304 in one place. So, we don't need to treat it specially in the catch all exception handler. But it is useful to validate behavior of 304 responses. We port the code that sends a 304 to use the new response API. We then move the code for screening 304 sanity into the new response API. As part of doing so, we discovered that we would send Content-Length: 0. This is not allowed. So, we fix our response code to not emit that header for empty response bodies.

hgweb: transition permissions hooks to modern request type (API) We're trying to remove ``wsgirequest``. The permissions hooks don't do anything they can't do with our new request type. So let's pass that in. This was the last use of ``wsgirequest`` in the wire protocol code! .. api:: hgweb.hgweb_mod.permhooks no longer take a ``wsgirequest`` instance as an argument.

hgweb: port archive command to modern response API Well, I tried to go with PEP 3333's recommendations and only allow our WSGI application to emit data via a response generator. Unfortunately, the "archive" command calls into the zipfile and tarfile modules and these operator on file objects and must send their data to an object with write(). There's no easy way turn these write() calls into a generator. So, we teach our response type how to expose a file object like object that can be used to write() output. We try to keep the API consistent with how things work currently: callers must call a setbody*(), then sendresponse() to trigger sending of headers, and only then can they get a handle on the object to perform writing. This required overloading the return value of @webcommand functions even more. Fortunately, we're almost completely ported off the legacy API. So we should be able to simplify matters in the near future. A test relying on this functionality has also been updated to use the new API. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2792
