This fixes a performance problem where we were previously starting up
a full Django process (~0.7s even on a fast machine) every time a new
email came in, potentially allowing users to accidentally DoS a Zulip
server. Now, we just post over HTTPS, allowing the existing thread
pool support to do its job.
- Add script wrapper to communicate postfix pipe with django web server
over HTTP(S). It uses shared_secret authentication mode.
- Add django view to process messages from email mirror server.
- Clean management command `email-mirror`. Left just functional
for cron email processing.
- Add routes for new tornado view.
- Change pipe script in master process postfix config template
based on updated script.
- Add tests.
Tweaked by tabbott to adjust the directory and set better defaults.
Fixes#2421.
Some Handlebars strings contained whitespaces characters at their ends.
With this, such characters are removed, as well as multiple spaces
(like the ones produced by code indentation).
This also includes a couple of fixes that removes spaces that were
intentionally placed before/after the string to translate.
This better sets expectatations for the fact that in Zulip, the
Organization settings UI is available read-only to non-administrator
users.
Tweaked by tabbott to update some additional references.
This system was quite complicated, and never had great semantics.
Eventually, we'll want some other system for gating which server
should generate digest emails for which realm controlled via the
database.
In this commit we just change the upload_avatar_image function to accept
two user_profiles acting_user_profile and target_user_profile. Basically
email param is dropped for a target_user_profile so that avatar's could
be moved lateron to user id based storage.
datetime.utcnow() is a timezone-naive datetime. The Django ORM interprets it
in the settings.TIME_ZONE timezone (e.g. 'America/New_York' in the
development server). We perhaps haven't noticed errors yet since with
'America/New_York' all it means is that emails are sent 5 hours early, or a
slightly different set of messages are included in the digest.
When you pass a naive datetime to the Django ORM, it uses settings.TIME_ZONE
for the time zone. In the development environment, both settings.TIME_ZONE
and datetime.now() use 'America/New_York', so there is no change in behavior
there. (fromtimestamp with no tz argument uses the same timezone as
datetime.now)
We are soon going to change settings.TIME_ZONE to UTC, so need to remove
naive datetimes from queries to the ORM.
In a Zulip production environment, STATIC_ROOT points to the shared
directory that static assets are served from, and so the
compilemessages management command was trying to process every
historical version in there.
