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. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2792

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. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2791

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. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2790

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

hgweb: support using new response object for web commands We have a "requestcontext" type for holding state for the current request. Why we pass in the wsgirequest and templater instance to @webcommand functions, I don't know. I like the idea of standardizing on using "requestcontext" for passing all state to @webcommand functions because that scales well without API changes every time you want to pass a new piece of data. So, we add our new request and response instances to "requestcontext" so @webcommand functions can access them. We also teach our command dispatcher to recognize a new calling convention. Instead of returning content from the @webcommand function, we return our response object. This signals that this response object is to be used for sending output. The keyword extension was wrapping various @webcommand and assuming the output was iterable, so we had to teach it about the new calling convention. To prove everything works, we convert the "filelog" @webcommand to use the new convention. The new calling convention is a bit wonky. I intend to improve this once all commands are ported to use the new response object. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2786

hgweb: inline caching() and port to modern mechanisms We only had one consumer of this simple function. While it could be a generic function, let's not over abstract the code. As part of inlining, we port it off wsgirequest, fix some Python 3 issues, and set a response header on our new response object so it is ready once we start using it to send responses. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2785

hgweb: expose repo name on parsedrequest I'm not a fan of doing this because I want to find a better solution to the REPO_NAME hack. But this change gets us a few steps closer to eliminating use of wsgirequest. We can worry about fixing REPO_NAME once wsgirequest is gone. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2784

hgweb: expose URL scheme and REMOTE_* attributes These are consulted by the HTTP wire protocol handler by reading from the env dict. Let's expose them as attributes instead. With the wire protocol handler updates to use the new attributes, we no longer have any consumers of the legacy wsgirequest type in the wire protocol code (outside of a proxied call to the permissions checker). So, we remove most references to it. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2783

hgweb: remove wsgirequest.form (API) Now that everything is ported to consume from parsedrequest.qsparams, we no longer have a need for wsgirequest.form. Let's remove all references to it. .. api:: The WSGI request object no longer exposes a ``form`` attribute containing parsed query string data. Use the ``qsparams`` attribute instead. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2782

hgweb: perform all parameter lookup via qsparams I think I managed to update all call sites using wsgirequest.form to use parsedrequest.qsparams. Since behavior of qsparams is to retrieve last value, behavior will change if a parameter was specified multiple times. But I think this is acceptable. I'm not a fan of the `req.req.qsparams` pattern. And some of the modified code could be written better. But I was aiming for a straight port with this change. Cleanup can come later. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2781

hgweb: set variables in qsparams We currently mutate wsgireq.form in a few places. Since it is independent from req.qsparams, we will need to make changes on req.qsparams as well before consumers can use qsparams. So let's do that. Eventually, we'll delete wsgireq.form and all references to it. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2780

hgweb: use our new request object for "style" parameter The "style" parameter is kind of wonky because it is explicitly set and has lookups in random locations. Let's port it to qsparams first because it isn't straightforward. There is subtle change in behavior. But I don't think it is worth calling out in a BC. Our multidict's __getitem__ returns the last set value for a key, not the first. So if the query string set a variable multiple times, before we would get the first value and now we would get the last value. It makes no sense to specify these things multiple times. And I think last write wins is more sensible than first write wins. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2779

hgweb: use a multidict for holding query string parameters My intention with refactoring the WSGI code was to make it easier to read. I initially wanted to vendor and use WebOb, because it seems to be a pretty reasonable abstraction layer for WSGI. However, it isn't using relative imports and I didn't want to deal with the hassle of patching it. But that doesn't mean we can't use good ideas from WebOb. WebOb has a "multidict" data structure for holding parsed query string and POST form data. It quacks like a dict but allows you to store multiple values for each key. It offers mechanisms to return just one value, all values, or return 1 value asserting that only 1 value is set. I quite like its API. This commit implements a read-only "multidict" in the spirit of WebOb's multidict. We replace the query string attributes of our parsed request with an instance of it. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2776

hgweb: create dedicated type for WSGI responses We have refactored the request side of WSGI processing into a dedicated type. Now let's do the same thing for the response side. We invent a ``wsgiresponse`` type. It takes an instance of a request (for consulation) and the WSGI application's "start_response" handler. The type basically allows setting the HTTP status line, response headers, and the response body. The WSGI application calls sendresponse() to start sending output. Output is emitted as a generator to be fed through the WSGI application. According to PEP 3333, this is the preferred way for output to be transmitted. (Our legacy ``wsgirequest`` exposed a write() to send data. We do not wish to support this API because it isn't recommended by PEP 3333.) The wire protocol code has been ported to use the new API. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2775

tests: add test for a wire protocol request to wrong base URL We have code that validates that wire protocol commands (which are specified via query string) must occur at the base URL of a repo. But we have no test coverage for this behavior. Let's add some. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2778

hgweb: remove support for short query string based aliases (BC) Form data exposed by hgweb is post-processed to expand certain shortcuts. For example, URLs with "?cs=@" is essentially expanded to "?cmd=changeset&node=@". And the URL router treats this the same as "/changeset/@". These shortcuts were initially added in 2005 in 34cb3957d875 and 964baa35faf8. They have rarely been touched in the last decade (just moving code around a bit). We have almost no test coverage of this feature. AFAICT no templates reference URLs of this form. I even looked at the initial version of paper and coal from ~2008 and they use the "/command/params" URL form and not these shortcuts. Furthermore, I couldn't even get some shortcuts to work! For example, "?sl=@" attempts to do a revision search instead of showing shortlog starting at revision @. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong? Because this is ancient, mostly untested code, there is a migration path to something better, and because anyone passionate enough to preserve URLs can install URL redirects, let's nuke the feature. .. bc:: Query string shorts in hgweb like ``?cs=@`` have been removed. Use URLs of the form ``/:cmd`` instead. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2773

hgweb: remove support for POST form data (BC) Previously, we called out to cgi.parse(), which for POST requests parsed multipart/form-data and application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-Type requests for form data, combined it with query string parameters, returned a union of the values. As far as I know, nothing in Mercurial actually uses this mechanism to submit data to the HTTP server. The wire protocol has its own mechanism for passing parameters. And the web interface only does GET requests. Removing support for parsing POST data doesn't break any tests. Another reason to not like this feature is that cgi.parse() may modify the QUERY_STRING environment variable as a side-effect. In addition, it merges both POST data and the query string into one data structure. This prevents consumers from knowing whether a variable came from the query string or POST data. That can matter for some operations. I suspect we use cgi.parse() because back when this code was initially implemented, it was the function that was readily available. In other words, I don't think there was conscious choice to support POST data: we just got it because cgi.parse() supported it. Since nothing uses the feature and it is untested, let's remove support for parsing POST form data. We can add it back in easily enough if we need it in the future. .. bc:: Hgweb no longer reads form data in POST requests from multipart/form-data and application/x-www-form-urlencoded requests. Arguments should be specified as URL path components or in the query string in the URL instead. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2774

hgweb: expose input stream on parsed WSGI request object Our next step towards moving away from wsgirequest to our newer, friendlier parsedrequest type is input stream access. This commit exposes the input stream on the instance. Consumers in the HTTP protocol server switch to it. Because there were very few consumers of the input stream, we stopped storing a reference to the input stream on wsgirequest directly. All access now goes through parsedrequest. However, wsgirequest still may read from this stream as part of cgi.parse(). So we still need to create the stream from wsgirequest. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2771

hgweb: make parsedrequest part of wsgirequest This is kind of ugly. But an upcoming commit will teach parsedrequest about the input stream. Because the input stream is global state and can't be accessed without side-effects, we need to take actions to ensure that multiple consumers don't read from it independently. The easiest way to do this is for one object to hold a reference to both items having access to the input stream so that when a copy is made, we can remove the attribute from the other instance. So we create our parsed request instance from the wsgirequest constructor and hold a reference to it there. This is better than our new type holding a reference to wsgirequest because all the code for managing access will be temporary and we shouldn't pollute parsedrequest with this ugly history. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2770

hgweb: refactor the request draining code The previous code for draining was only invoked in a few places in the wire protocol. Behavior wasn't consist. Furthermore, it was difficult to reason about. With us converting the input stream to a capped reader, it is now safe to always drain the input stream when its size is known because we can never overrun the input and read into the next HTTP request. The only question is "should we?" This commit changes the draining code so every request is examined. Draining now kicks in for a few requests where it wouldn't before. But I think the code is sufficiently restricted so the behavior is safe. Possibly the most dangerous part of this code is the issuing of Connection: close for POST and PUT requests that don't have a Content-Length. I don't think there are any such uses in our WSGI application, so this should be safe. In the near future, I plan to significantly refactor the WSGI response handling. I anticipate this code evolving a bit. So any minor regressions around draining or connection closing behavior might be fixed as a result of that work. All tests pass with this change. That scares me a bit because it means we are lacking low-level tests for the HTTP protocol. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D2769

hgweb: use a capped reader for WSGI input stream Per PEP 3333, the input stream from WSGI should respect EOF and prevent reads past the end of the request body. However, not all WSGI servers guarantee this. Notably, our BaseHTTPServer based built-in HTTP server doesn't. Instead, it exposes the raw socket and you can read() from it all you want, getting the connection in a bad state by doing so. We have a "cappedreader" utility class that proxies a file object and prevents reading past a limit. This commit converts the WSGI input stream into a capped reader when the input length is advertised via Content-Length headers. "cappedreader" only exposes a read() method. PEP 3333 states that the input stream MUST also support readline(), readlines(hint), and __iter__(). However, since our WSGI application code only calls read() and since we're not manipulating the stream exposed by the WSGI server, we're not violating the spec here.
