There’s an apparent contradiction between RFC 7230 §3.3.2
Content-Length:
“A server MUST NOT send a Content-Length header field in any response
with a status code of 1xx (Informational) or 204 (No Content).”
and RFC 7231 §4.3.7 OPTIONS:
“A server MUST generate a Content-Length field with a value of "0" if
no payload body is to be sent in the response.”
The only resolution within the existing language would be to disallow
all 204 responses to OPTIONS requests. However, I don’t think that
was the intention, so I submitted this erratum report:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5806
and updated the code accordingly.

Previous cleanups (mostly the removals of Python __future__ imports)
were done in a way that introduced leading newlines. Delete leading
newlines from all files, except static/assets/zulip-emoji/NOTICE,
which is a verbatim copy of the Apache 2.0 license.

Investigation into #12876, a mysterious bug where users were seeing
messages reappear as unread, determined that the root cause was
missing headers to disable client-side caching for Zulip's REST API
endpoints.
This manifested, in particular, for `GET /messages`, which is
essentially the only API GET endpoint used by the webapp at all. When
using the `Ctrl+Shift+T` feature of browsers to restore a recently
closed tab (and potentially other code paths), the browser would
return from its disk cache a cached copy of the GET /messages results.
Because we include message flags on messages fetched from the server,
this in particular meant that those tabs would get a stale version of
the unread flag for the batches of the most recent ~1200 messages that
Zulip fetches upon opening a new browser tab.
The issue took same care to reproduce as well, in large part because
the arguments to those initial GET /messages requests will vary as one
reads messages (because the `pointer` moves forward) and then enters
the "All messages" view; the disk cache is only used for GET requests
with the exact same URL parameters.
We will probably still want to merge the events error-handling changes
we had previously proposed for this, but the conclusion of this being
a straightforward case of missing cache-control headers is much more
satisfying than the "badly behaving Chrome" theory discussed in the
issue thread.
Fixes#12876.
This should make it possible for blueslip error reports to be sent on
our logged-out portico pages, which should in turn make it possible to
debug any such issues as they occur.
The code paths for accessing user-uploaded files are both (A) highly
optimized so as to not require a ton of work, and (B) a code path
where it's totally reasonable for a client to need to fetch 100+
images all at once (e.g. if it's the first browser open in a setting
with a lot of distinct senders with avatars or a lot of image
previews).
Additionally, we've been seeing exceptions logged in the production
redis configuration caused by this code path (basically, locking
failures trying to update the rate-limit data structures).
So we skip running our current rate limiting algorithm for these views.
This extends the /user_uploads API endpoint to support passing the
authentication credentials via the URL, not the HTTP_AUTHORIZATION
headers. This is an important workaround for the fact that React
Native's Webview system doesn't support setting HTTP_AUTHORIZATION;
the app will be responsible for rewriting URLs for uploaded files
directly to add this parameter.
This fixes a regression in 93678e89cd
and a4979410f9, where the webhooks using
authenticated_rest_api_view were migrated to a new model that didn't
include setting a custom Client string for the webhook.
When restoring these webhooks' client strings, we also fix places
where the client string was not capitalized the same was as the
product's name.
For a long time, rest_dispatch has had this hack where we have to
create a copy of it in each views file using it, in order to directly
access the globals list in that file. This removes that hack, instead
making rest_dispatch just use Django's import_string to access the
target method to use.

If a user's session cookie expired, the next REST API request their
browser did would go into the json_unauthorized code path. This
returned a response with a WWW-Authenticate tag for HTTP Basic Auth
(since that's what the REST API uses), even for /json requests which
should only be authenticated using session auth.
We fix this by explicitly passing the desired WWW-Authenticate state.
Fixes: #800.
This caused problems with our tests suite where we were using a logged
in browser session and actually acting as a different user.

If you don't have a cookie or basic auth and the request looks like
a top-level page in the browser, redirect to the login page.
