While the function which processes the realm registration and
signup remains the same, we use different urls and functions to
call the process so that we can separately track them. This will
help us know the conversion rate of realm registration after
receiving the confirmation link.
Rename 'muting.py' to 'user_mutes.py' because it, now
, contains only user-mute related functions.
Includes minor refactoring needed after renaming the file.
This commit moves topic related stuff i.e. topic muting functions
to a separate file 'views/user_topics.py'.
'views/muting.py' contains functions related to user-mutes only.
This adds a new endpoint /jwt/fetch_api_key that accepts a JWT and can
be used to fetch API keys for a certain user. The target realm is
inferred from the request and the user email is part of the JWT.
A JSON containing an user API key, delivery email and (optionally)
raw user profile data is returned in response.
The profile data in the response is optional and can be retrieved by
setting the POST param "include_profile" to "true" (default=false).

- Updates `.prettierignore` for the new directory.
- Updates any reference to the API documentation directory for
markdown files to be `api_docs/` instead of `zerver/api/`.
- Removes a reference link from `docs/documentation/api.md` that
hasn't referenced anything in the text since commit 0542c60.
- Update rendering of API documentation for new directory.
These files are not Jinja2 templates, so there's no reason that they needed
to be inside `templates/zerver`. Moving them to the top level reflects their
importance and also makes it feel nicer to work on editing the help center content,
without it being unnecessary buried deep in the codebase.
Since we want to use `accounts/new/send_confirm` to know how many
users actually register after visiting the register page, we
added it to Google Tag Manager, but GTM tracks every user
registration separately due <email> in the URL
making it harder to track.
To solve this, we want to pass <email> as a GET parameter which
can be easily filtered inside GTM using a RegEx and all the
registrations can be tracked as one.
When file uploads are stored in S3, this means that Zulip serves as a
302 to S3. Because browsers do not cache redirects, this means that
no image contents can be cached -- and upon every page load or reload,
every recently-posted image must be re-fetched. This incurs extra
load on the Zulip server, as well as potentially excessive bandwidth
usage from S3, and on the client's connection.
Switch to fetching the content from S3 in nginx, and serving the
content from nginx. These have `Cache-control: private, immutable`
headers set on the response, allowing browsers to cache them locally.
Because nginx fetching from S3 can be slow, and requests for uploads
will generally be bunched around when a message containing them are
first posted, we instruct nginx to cache the contents locally. This
is safe because uploaded file contents are immutable; access control
is still mediated by Django. The nginx cache key is the URL without
query parameters, as those parameters include a time-limited signed
authentication parameter which lets nginx fetch the non-public file.
This adds a number of nginx-level configuration parameters to control
the caching which nginx performs, including the amount of in-memory
index for he cache, the maximum storage of the cache on disk, and how
long data is retained in the cache. The currently-chosen figures are
reasonable for small to medium deployments.
The most notable effect of this change is in allowing browsers to
cache uploaded image content; however, while there will be many fewer
requests, it also has an improvement on request latency. The
following tests were done with a non-AWS client in SFO, a server and
S3 storage in us-east-1, and with 100 requests after 10 requests of
warm-up (to fill the nginx cache). The mean and standard deviation
are shown.
| | Redirect to S3 | Caching proxy, hot | Caching proxy, cold |
| ----------------- | ------------------- | ------------------- | ------------------- |
| Time in Django | 263.0 ms ± 28.3 ms | 258.0 ms ± 12.3 ms | 258.0 ms ± 12.3 ms |
| Small file (842b) | 586.1 ms ± 21.1 ms | 266.1 ms ± 67.4 ms | 288.6 ms ± 17.7 ms |
| Large file (660k) | 959.6 ms ± 137.9 ms | 609.5 ms ± 13.0 ms | 648.1 ms ± 43.2 ms |
The hot-cache performance is faster for both large and small files,
since it saves the client the time having to make a second request to
a separate host. This performance improvement remains at least 100ms
even if the client is on the same coast as the server.
Cold nginx caches are only slightly slower than hot caches, because
VPC access to S3 endpoints is extremely fast (assuming it is in the
same region as the host), and nginx can pool connections to S3 and
reuse them.
However, all of the 648ms taken to serve a cold-cache large file is
occupied in nginx, as opposed to the only 263ms which was spent in
nginx when using redirects to S3. This means that to overall spend
less time responding to uploaded-file requests in nginx, clients will
need to find files in their local cache, and skip making an
uploaded-file request, at least 60% of the time. Modeling shows a
reduction in the number of client requests by about 70% - 80%.
The `Content-Disposition` header logic can now also be entirely shared
with the local-file codepath, as can the `url_only` path used by
mobile clients. While we could provide the direct-to-S3 temporary
signed URL to mobile clients, we choose to provide the
served-from-Zulip signed URL, to better control caching headers on it,
and greater consistency. In doing so, we adjust the salt used for the
URL; since these URLs are only valid for 60s, the effect of this salt
change is minimal.
Moving `/user_avatars/` to being served partially through Django
removes the need for the `no_serve_uploads` nginx reconfiguring when
switching between S3 and local backends. This is important because a
subsequent commit will move S3 attachments to being served through
nginx, which would make `no_serve_uploads` entirely nonsensical of a
name.
Serve the files through Django, with an offload for the actual image
response to an internal nginx route. In development, serve the files
directly in Django.
We do _not_ mark the contents as immutable for caching purposes, since
the path for avatar images is hashed only by their user-id and a salt,
and as such are reused when a user's avatar is updated.
When this code was moved from being in zerver in 21a2fd482e, it kept
the `if ZILENCER_ENABLED` blocks. Since ZILENCER and CORPORATE are
generally either both on or both off, the if statement became
mostly-unnecessary.
However, because tests cannot easily remove elements from
INSTALLED_APPS and re-determine URL resolution, we switch to checking
`if CORPORATE_ENABLED` as a guard, and leave these in-place.
The other side effect of this is that with e54ded49c4, most Zulip
deployments started to 404 requests for `/apps` instead of redirecting
them to `https://zulip.com/apps/` since they no longer had any path
configured for `/apps`. Unfortunately, this URL is in widespread use
in the app (e.g. in links from the Welcome Bot), so we should ensure
that it does successfully redirect.
Add the `/apps` path to `zerver`, but only if not CORPORATE_ENABLED,
so the URLs do not overlap.
Track `create_realm` and `new_realm_send_confirm` using
google analytics.
This will help us track number of users who want to
create a new Zulip organization.
Creates `zerver.lib.url_redirects.py` to record old and new URLs
for documentation pages that have been renamed/moved and need URL
redirects.
This file is then used by `zproject.urls.py` to redirect links and
by `zerver.test.test_urls.py` to test that all of the old URLs
return a success response with a common page header/text depending
on the type of redirect (help center, policy, or API).
Adds a section to contributor docs on writing documentation for
how to use this redirect system when renaming a help center or api
documentation page.
Fixes#21946. Fixes#17897.
The only caller that passes the kwargs argument is the avatar rest_path.
The application of kwargs can be rewritten with a wrapper.

Adds an API endpoint for accessing read receipts for other users, as
well as a modal UI for displaying that information.
Enables the previously merged privacy settings UI for managing whether
a user makes read receipts data available to other users.
Documentation is pending, and we'll likely want to link to the
documentation with help_settings_link once it is complete.
Fixes#3618.

If the emoji name contains forward slashes, the `str` converter
would treat it as a URL delimiter. Instead use the path converter, so
that forward slashes are included in the emoji name variable.
Fixes#22377
This is necessary for the mobile/terminal clients to build spectator
support down the line. We'll also be using it for the web application,
in an upcoming commit.
This commit adds 'GET /user_groups/{user_group_id}/members'
endpoint to get members of a user group. "direct_member_only"
parameter can be passed as True to the endpoint to get only
direct members of the user group and not the members of
subgroup.
This commit adds 'GET /user_groups/{id}/members/{id}' endpoint to check
whether a user is member of a group.
This commit also adds for_read parameter to access_user_group_by_id,
which if passed as True will provide access to read user group even
if it a system group or if non-admin acting user is not part of the
group.
The new release adds the commit:
20ac22b96d
Which allows us to get rid of the entire ugly override that was needed
to do this commit's job in our code. What we do here in this commit:
* Use django-scim2 0.17.1
* Revert the relevant parts of f5a65846a8
* Adjust the expected error message in test_exception_details_not_revealed_to_client
since the message thrown by django-scim2 in this release is slightly
different.
We do not have to add anything to set EXPOSE_SCIM_EXCEPTIONS, since
django-scim2 uses False as the default, which is what we want - and we
have the aforementioned test verifying that indeed information doesn't
get revealed to the SCIM client.
This replaces the TERMS_OF_SERVICE and PRIVACY_POLICY settings with
just a POLICIES_DIRECTORY setting, in order to support settings (like
Zulip Cloud) where there's more policies than just those two.

A confirmation link takes a user to the check_prereg_key_and_redirect
endpoint, before getting redirected to POST to /accounts/register/. The
problem was that validation was happening in the check_prereg_key_and_redirect
part and not in /accounts/register/ - meaning that one could submit an
expired confirmation key and be able to register.
We fix this by moving validation into /accouts/register/.
If realm is web_public, spectators can now view avatar of other
users.
There is a special exception we had to introduce in rest model to
allow `/avatar` type of urls for `anonymous` access, because they
don't have the /api/v1 prefix.
Fixes#19838.
As detailed in the comments, the default behavior is undesirable for us
because we can't really predict all possibilities of exceptions that may
be raised - and thus putting str(e) in the http response is potentially
insecure as it may leak some unexpected sensitive information that was
in the exception.
As a hypothetical example - KeyError resulting from some buggy
some_dict[secret_string] call would leak information. Though of course
we aim to never write code like that.
