Messages are rendered outside of a transaction, for performance
reasons, and then sent inside of one. This opens thumbnailing up to a
race where the thumbnails have not yet been written when the message
is rendered, but the message has not been sent when thumbnailing
completes, causing `rewrite_thumbnailed_images` to be a no-op and the
message being left with a spinner which never resolves.
Explicitly lock and use he ImageAttachment data inside the
message-sending transaction, to rewrite the message content with the
latest information about the existing thumbnails.
Despite the thumbnailing worker taking a lock on Message rows to
update them, this does not lead to deadlocks -- the INSERT of the
Message rows happens in a transaction, ensuring that either the
message rending blocks the thumbnailing until the Message row is
created, or that the `rewrite_thumbnailed_images` and Message INSERT
waits until thumbnailing is complete (and updated no Message rows).
Providing a signed Camo URL for arbitrary URLs opened the server up to
being an open redirector. Return 403 if the URL is not a user upload,
and the backend image if it is. Since we do not have ImageAttachment
rows for uploads at a time we wrote `/thumbnail?` URLs, return the
full-size content.
47683144ff switched the web client to prefer the 840x560 size, as the
mobile apps prefer; remove the now-unused 300x200 size. No client was
using the generated `.jpg` formats, as all clients support `.webp`, so
remove the unused `.jpg` thumbnail as well.
Modern browsers respect the EXIF orientation information of images,
applying rotation and/or mirroring as specified in those tags. The
the `width="..."` and `height="..."` tags are to size the image
_after_ applying those orientation transformations.
The `.width` and `.height` properties of libvips' images are _before_
any transformations are applied. Since we intend to use these to hint
to rendering clients the size that the image should be _rendered at_,
change to storing (and providing to clients) the dimensions of the
rendered image, not the stored bytes.
This allows clients to potentially lay out the thumbnails more
intelligently, or to provide a better "progressive-load" experience
when enlarging the thumbnail.
The libvips cache is 100MB, 100 operations, or 100 files, whichever is
less. A single Django process or worker is extremely unlikely to ever
see the same image twice, much less within those timeframes.
Disable the cache, since it is mostly useless memory usage for our use
case.
A new table is created to track which path_id attachments are images,
and for those their metadata, and which thumbnails have been created.
Using path_id as the effective primary key lets us ignore if the
attachment is archived or not, saving some foreign key messes.
A new worker is added to observe events when rows are added to this
table, and to generate and store thumbnails for those images in
differing sizes and formats.
We thumbnail and serve emoji with the same format as they were
uploaded. However, we preserved the original extension, which might
mismatch with the provided content-type.
Limit the content-type to a subset which is both (a) an image format
we can thumbnail, and (b) a media format which is widely-enough
supported that we are willing to provide it to all browsers. This
prevents uploading a `.tiff` emoji, for instance.
Based on this limited content-type, we then reverse to find the
reasonable extension to use when storing it. This is particularly
important because the local file storage uses the file extension to
choose what content-type to re-serve the emoji as.
This does nothing for existing emoji, which may have odd or missing
file extensions.
This is done in as much of a drop-in fashion as possible. Note that
libvips does not support animated PNGs[^1], and as such this
conversion removes support for them as emoji; however, libvips
includes support for webp images, which future commits will take
advantage of.
This removes the MAX_EMOJI_GIF_SIZE limit, since that existed to work
around bugs in Pillow. MAX_EMOJI_GIF_FILE_SIZE_BYTES is fixed to
actually be 128KiB (not 128MiB, as it actually was), and is counted
_after_ resizing, since the point is to limit the amount of data
transfer to clients.

Thumbor and tc-aws have been dragging their feet on Python 3 support
for years, and even the alphas and unofficial forks we’ve been running
don’t seem to be maintained anymore. Depending on these projects is
no longer viable for us.

Fixes#2665.
Regenerated by tabbott with `lint --fix` after a rebase and change in
parameters.
Note from tabbott: In a few cases, this converts technical debt in the
form of unsorted imports into different technical debt in the form of
our largest files having very long, ugly import sequences at the
start. I expect this change will increase pressure for us to split
those files, which isn't a bad thing.

Due to a known but unfixed bug in the Python standard library’s
urllib.parse module (CVE-2015-2104), a crafted URL could bypass the
validation in the previous patch and still achieve an open redirect.

Switch to using django.utils.http.is_safe_url, which already contains
a workaround for this bug.

This endpoint serves requests which might originate from an image
preview link which had an http url and the message holding the image
link was rendered before we introduced thumbnailing. In that case
we would have used a camo proxy to proxy http content over https and
avoid mix content warnings.
In near future, we plan to drop use of camo and just rely on thumbor
to serve such images. This endpoint helps maintain backward
compatibility for links which were already rendered.
We used to add sharpen filter for all the image sizes whereas it was
intended for resized images only which would have been smoothened
out a bit by the resize operation.
This unnecessary use of the filter used to result in weird issues
with full size images.
For example: Image located at this url:-
http://arqex.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/trees.png
When rendered in full size would have just boundaries visible.
We seemed to have been doing too much of sharpening on the thumbnails.
The purpose of sharpening here was to just counter the softening
effects of a resize on an image but overdoing it is bad.
Value sharpen(0.5,0.2,true) seems to look good for achieving the
best results here on different displays as revealed in the manual
hit and trial based testing.
Thanks to @borisyankov for pointing out the issue and suggesting
the values.
This is a prepartory commit for the upcoming changes. It was meaningful
to extract this one out because this function is essentially a condition
check on whether a given url is one of the user_uploads or an external
one. Based on its value we decide whether a url must be thumbnailed or
not and thus this function will also be used in an upcoming commit
patching lib/thumbnail.py to do the same check before thumbnail url
generation.
In this commit we fix a bug due to which url preview images for urls
to custom emojis, realm icons or user avatars appeared broken when
such urls would be part of a Zulip message.
This is a preparatory commit to fix a bug in which a user posts
a link of custom emoji, user avatar or realm icon in a Zulip
message.
In this commit we are just adjusting the url generation in the
backend to have the '/user_uploads/' in the encrypted url generated
which the user is supposed to be redirected to and therefore
essentially reaching thumbor with the encrypted url.
This is necessary because 'user_uploads' and 'user_avatars' (or any
other item under 'user_avatars' endpoint) have a different folder
location under the local file storage backend. 'user_uploads'
endpoint's stuff is stored in a 'files' directory whereas stuff
'user_avatars' endpoint's stuff is stored in a 'avatars' directory.
Thumbor needs to know from which directory a particular local file
needs to be retrieved and therefore the zthumbor/loaders.py adds
a prefix location for the directory.
Since in an upcoming commit we are going to add user_avatars
directory location 'avatars' folder as a prefix this preparatory
commit helps simply doing the changes.
Various pieces of our thumbor-based thumbnailing system were already
merged; this adds the remaining pieces required for it to work:
* a THUMBOR_URL Django setting that controls whether thumbor is
enabled on the Zulip server (and if so, where thumbor is hosted).
* Replaces the overly complicated prototype cryptography logic
* Adds a /thumbnail endpoint (supported both on web and mobile) for
accessing thumbnails in messages, designed to support hosting both
external URLs as well as uploaded files (and applying Zulip's
security model for access to thumbnails of uploaded files).
* Modifies bugdown to, when THUMBOR_URL is set, render images with the
`src` attribute pointing /thumbnail (to provide a small thumbnail
for the image), along with adding a "data-original" attribute that
can be used to access the "original/full" size version of the image.
There are a few things that don't work quite yet:
* The S3 backend support is incomplete and doesn't work yet.
* The error pages for unauthorized access are ugly.
* We might want to rename data-original and /thumbnail?size=original
to use some other name, like "full", that better reflects the fact
that we're potentially not serving the original image URL.
