This commit allows for the /api-new/ page to rendered similarly to our
/help pages. It's based on the old content for /api, but we're not
replacing the old content yet, to give a bit of time to restructure
things reasonably.
Tweaked by eeshangarg and tabbott.
The HelpView class will render a directory as markdown with an index HTML
page. This however can also be used for other generics and applied to
the API pages as well, so change the class to a generic class and
specify the path templates and names.
Tweaked by tabbott and Eeshan Garg.
The cookie mechanism only works when passing the login token to a
subdomain. URLs work across domains, which is why they're the
standard transport for SSO on the web. Switch to URLs.
Tweaked by tabbott to add a test for an expired token.
Most of these have more to do with authentication in general than with
registering a new account. `create_preregistration_user` could go
either way; we move it to `auth` so we can make the imports go only in
one direction.
Lets administrators view a list of open(unconfirmed) invitations and
resend or revoke a chosen invitation.
There are a few changes that we can expect for the future:
* It is currently possible to invite an email that you have already
invited, it might make sense to change this behavior.
* Resend currently sends an invite reminder instead of resending the
original invite, this is because 'custom_body' was not stored when
the first invite was sent.
Tweaked in various minor ways, primarily in the backend, by tabbott,
mostly for style consistency with the rest of the codebase.
Fixes: #1180.
This works around a bug in Django in handling the error case of a
client sending an inappropriate HTTP `Host:` header. Various
internal Django machinery expects to be able to casually call
`request.get_host()`, which will attempt to parse that header, so an
exception will be raised. The exception-handling machinery attempts
to catch that exception and just turn it into a 400 response... but
in a certain case, that machinery itself ends up trying to call
`request.get_host()`, and we end up with an uncaught exception that
causes a 500 response, a chain of tracebacks in the logs, and an email
to the server admins. See example below.
That `request.get_host` call comes in the midst of some CSRF-related
middleware, which doesn't even serve any function unless you have a
form in your 400 response page that you want CSRF protection for.
We use the default 400 response page, which is a 26-byte static
HTML error message. So, just send that with no further ado.

This adds the authors to the Zulip repository on GitHub from
/authors/ along with re-styling the page to fit the same
aesthetic as /for/open-source/ and other product-pages.
The new endpoints are:
/json/mark_stream_as_read: takes stream name
/json/mark_topic_as_read: takes stream name, topic name
The /json/flags endpoint no longer allows streams or topics
to be passed in as parameters.
This change simplifies how we mark all messages as read. It also
speeds up the backend by taking advantage of our partial index
for unread messages. We also use a new statsd indicator.
This completes the major endpoint migrations to eliminate legacy API
endpoints from Zulip.
There's a few other things that will happen naturally, so I believe
this fixes#611.
Prior to this commit, 7 megabytes of images (through 253 individual requests)
were heavily slowing down the initial load. With this commit, we load only the
logos (60 or so images).
Documentation and images for the individual integration sub-pages is requested
separately using the /integrations/doc/ endpoint, which returns HTML.
This isn't very slick, but it should get the main points down,
and it's past time we got something like this up. Definitely
needs in the future another pass at the text, and also some images
(screenshots, etc.) and styling.
