If an API request specified a `client` parameter, we were
already prioritizing that value over parsing the UserAgent.
In order to have these parameters logged in the `RequestNotes`
as processed parameters instead of ignored parameters, we add
the `has_request_variables` decorator to `parse_client` and
then process the potential `client` parameter through the REQ
framework.

Requests to the root subdomain weren't getting request_notes.realm set
even if a realm exists on the root subdomain - which is actually a
common scenario, because simply having one organization, on the root
subdomain, is the simplest and common way for self-hosted deployments.
SOCIAL_AUTH_SUBDOMAIN was potentially very confusing when opened by a
user, as it had various Login/Signup buttons as if there was a realm on
it. Instead, we want to display a more informative page to the user
telling them they shouldn't even be there. If possible, we just redirect
them to the realm they most likely came from.
To make this possible, we have to exclude the subdomain from
ROOT_SUBDOMAIN_ALIASES - so that we can give it special behavior.
This utilizes the generic `BaseNotes` we added for multipurpose
patching. With this migration as an example, we can further support
more types of notes to replace the monkey-patching approach we have used
throughout the codebase for type safety.
This concludes the HttpRequest migration to eliminate arbitrary
attributes (except private ones that are belong to django) attached
to the request object during runtime and migrated them to a
separate data structure dedicated for the purpose of adding
information (so called notes) to a HttpRequest.
This includes the migration of fields that require trivial changes
to be migrated to be stored with ZulipRequestNotes.
Specifically _requestor_for_logs, _set_language, _query, error_format,
placeholder_open_graph_description, saveed_response, which were all
previously set on the HttpRequest object at some point. This migration
allows them to be typed.
We will no longer use the HttpRequest to store the rate limit data.
Using ZulipRequestNotes, we can access rate_limit and ratelimits_applied
with type hints support. We also save the process of initializing
ratelimits_applied by giving it a default value.
This avoids calling parse_user_agent twice when dealing with official
Zulip clients, and also makes the logical flow hopefully easier to read.
We move get_client_name out of decorator.py, since it no longer
belongs there, and give it a nicer name.
This ensures it is present for all requests; while that was already
essentially true via process_client being called from every standard
decorator, this allows middleware and other code to rely on this
having been set.
django.utils.translation.ugettext is a deprecated alias of
django.utils.translation.gettext as of Django 3.0, and will be removed
in Django 4.0.

The `X-Forwarded-For` header is a list of proxies' IP addresses; each
proxy appends the remote address of the host it received its request
from to the list, as it passes the request down. A naïve parsing, as
SetRemoteAddrFromForwardedFor did, would thus interpret the first
address in the list as the client's IP.
However, clients can pass in arbitrary `X-Forwarded-For` headers,
which would allow them to spoof their IP address. `nginx`'s behavior
is to treat the addresses as untrusted unless they match an allowlist
of known proxies. By setting `real_ip_recursive on`, it also allows
this behavior to be applied repeatedly, moving from right to left down
the `X-Forwarded-For` list, stopping at the right-most that is
untrusted.
Rather than re-implement this logic in Django, pass the first
untrusted value that `nginx` computer down into Django via `X-Real-Ip`
header. This allows consistent IP addresses in logs between `nginx`
and Django.
Proxied calls into Tornado (which don't use UWSGI) already passed this
header, as Tornado logging respects it.
Support for saving it in the session is dropped in django3, the cookie
is the mechanism that needs to be used. The relevant i18n code doesn't
have access to the response objects and thus needs to delegate setting
the cookie to LocaleMiddleware.
Fixes the LocaleMiddleware point of #16030.
This simplifies the code, as it allows using the mechanism of converting
JsonableErrors into a response instead of having separate, but
ultimately similar, logic in RateLimitMiddleware.
We don't touch tests here because "rate limited" error responses are
already verified in test_external.py.
Calling `render()` in a middleware before LocaleMiddleware has run
will pick up the most-recently-set locale. This may be from the
_previous_ request, since the current language is thread-local. This
results in the "Organization does not exist" page occasionally being
in not-English, depending on the preferences of the request which that
thread just finished serving.
Move HostDomainMiddleware below LocaleMiddleware; none of the earlier
middlewares call `render()`, so are safe. This will also allow the
"Organization does not exist" page to be localized based on the user's
browser preferences.
Unfortunately, it also means that the default LocaleMiddleware catches
the 404 from the HostDomainMiddlware and helpfully tries to check if
the failure is because the URL lacks a language component (e.g.
`/en/`) by turning it into a 304 to that new URL. We must subclass
the default LocaleMiddleware to remove this unwanted functionality.
Doing so exposes a two places in tests that relied (directly or
indirectly) upon the redirection: '/confirmation_key'
was redirected to '/en/confirmation_key', since the non-i18n version
did not exist; and requests to `/stats/realm/not_existing_realm/`
incorrectly were expecting a 302, not a 404.
This regression likely came in during f00ff1ef62, since prior to
that, the HostDomainMiddleware ran _after_ the rest of the request had
completed.
We raise two types of json_unauthorized when
MissingAuthenticationError is raised. Raising the one
with www_authenticate let's the client know that user needs
to be logged in to access the requested content.
Sending `www_authenticate='session'` header with the response
also stops modern web-browsers from showing a login form to the
user and let's the client handle it completely.
Structurally, this moves the handling of common authentication errors
to a single shared middleware exception handler.

django.security.DisallowedHost is only one of a set of exceptions that
are "SuspiciousOperation" exceptions; all return a 400 to the user
when they bubble up[1]; all of them are uninteresting to Sentry.
While they may, in bulk, show a mis-configuration of some sort of the
application, such a failure should be detected via the increase in
400's, not via these, which are uninteresting individually.
While all of these are subclasses of SuspiciousOperation, we enumerate
them explicitly for a number of reasons:
- There is no one logger we can ignore that captures all of them.
Each of the errors uses its own logger, and django does not supply
a `django.security` logger that all of them feed into.
- Nor can we catch this by examining the exception object. The
SuspiciousOperation exception is raised too early in the stack for
us to catch the exception by way of middleware and check
`isinstance`. But at the Sentry level, in `add_context`, it is no
longer an exception but a log entry, and as such we have no
`isinstance` that can be applied; we only know the logger name.
- Finally, there is the semantic argument that while we have decided
to ignore this set of security warnings, we _may_ wish to log new
ones that may be added at some point in the future. It is better
to opt into those ignores than to blanket ignore all messages from
the security logger.
This moves the DisallowedHost `ignore_logger` to be adjacent to its
kin, and not on the middleware that may trigger it. Consistency is
more important than locality in this case.
Of these, the DisallowedHost logger if left as the only one that is
explicitly ignored in the LOGGING configuration in
`computed_settings.py`; it is by far the most frequent, and the least
likely to be malicious or impactful (unlike, say, RequestDataTooBig).

It is more suited for `process_request`, since it should stop
execution of the request if the domain is invalid. This code was
likely added as a process_response (in ea39fb2556) because there was
already a process_response at the time (added 7e786d5426, and no
longer necessary since dce6b4a40f).
It quiets an unnecessary warning when logging in at a non-existent
realm.
This stops performing unnecessary work when we are going to throw it
away and return a 404. The edge case to this is if the request
_creates_ a realm, and is made using the URL of the new realm; this
change would prevent the request before it occurs. While this does
arise in tests, the tests do not reflect reality -- real requests to
/accounts/register/ are made via POST to the same (default) realm,
redirected there from `confirm-preregistrationuser`. The tests are
adjusted to reflect real behavior.
