hgweb: pass modern request type into various webutil functions (API) Our march towards killing wsgirequest continues. .. api:: Various functions in hgweb.webutil now take a modern request object instead of ``wsgirequest``. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2802

hgweb: don't redundantly pass templater with requestcontext (API) The requestcontenxt has a ``tmpl`` attribute to access the templater. We don't need to pass the templater explicitly when passing a requestcontext instance. .. api:: Various helper functions in hgweb.webutil no longer accept a templater instance. Access the templater through the ``web`` argument instead. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2801

hgweb: use templater on requestcontext instance After this commit, all @webcommand function no longer use their "tmpl" argument. Instead, they use the templater attached to the requestcontext. This is the same exact object. So there should be no difference in behavior. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2800

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. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2794

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. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2793

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.

hgweb: refactor fake file object proxy for archiving Python's zip file writer operates on a file object. When doing work, it periodically calls write(), flush(), and tell() on that object. In WSGI contexts, the start_response function returns a write() function. That's a function to write data, not a full file object. So, when the archival code was first introduced in 2b03c6733efa in 2006, someone invented a proxy "tellable" type that wrapped a file object like object and kept track of write count so it could implement tell() and satisfy zipfile's needs. When our archival code runs, it attempts to tell() the destination and if that fails, converts it to a "tellable" instance. Our WSGI application passes the "wsgirequest" instance to the archival function. It fails the tell() test and is converted to a "tellable." It's worth noting that "wsgirequest" implements flush(), so "tellable" doesn't. This hackery all seems very specific to the WSGI code. So this commit moves the "tellable" type and the conversion of the destination file object into the WSGI code. There's a chance some other caller may be passing a file object like object that doesn't implement tell(). But I doubt it. As part of the refactor, our new type implements flush() and doesn't implement __getattr__. Given the intended limited use of this type, I want things to fail fast if there is an attempt to access attributes because I think it is important to document which attributes are being used for what purposes.

tests: additional test coverage of archive web command This command is special in a few ways. First, it is the only command using the write() function from WSGI's start_response() function. Second, it is setting a custom content-disposition header. We change the test so it prints out full details of the HTTP response. We also save the response body to a file so we can verify its size and hash. The hash check will help ensure that archive generation is deterministic.

hgweb: port static file handling to new response API hgwebdir_mod hasn't received as much porting effort. So we had to do some minor plumbing to get it to match hgweb_mod and to support the new response object. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2789

hgweb: remove one-off routing for file?style=raw Now that both functions are using the same API, we can unify how the command is called and perform command-specific behavior in the command itself instead of in the high-level router. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2788

hgweb: port most @webcommand to use modern response type This only focused on porting the return value. raw file requests are wonky because they go through a separate code path at the dispatch layer. Now that everyone is using the same API, we could clean this up. It's worth noting that wsgirequest.respond() allows sending the Content-Disposition header, but the only user of that feature was removed as part of this change (with the setting of the header now being performed inline). A few @webcommand are not as straightforward as the others and they have not been ported yet. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2787
