Finishes the refactoring started in c1bbd8d. The goal of the refactoring is
to change the argument to get_realm from a Realm.domain to a
Realm.string_id. The steps were
* Add a new function, get_realm_by_string_id.
* Change all calls to get_realm to use get_realm_by_string_id instead.
* Remove get_realm.
* (This commit) Rename get_realm_by_string_id to get_realm.
Part of a larger migration to remove the Realm.domain field entirely.
Zulip doesn't previously make use of the standard Django is_staff flag
(in that the Django admin site is disabled), but since conceptually
the /activity page would be part of the Django admin site if we were
using it (i.e. for server-level administrators), it makes sense to key
off of that rather than the previous, fragile, check for the realm
domain name.
Previously, we rejected the HEAD requests that the trello integration
uses to check if the server accepts the integration.
Add decorator for returning 200 status code if request is HEAD.
Fixes: #2311.
`django.contrib.auth.get_user` function is updated in Django 1.10, due to
which everytime we update the password of the user the password hash changes.
This causes authentication failure. Previously, our code worked correctly
because we use our own session middleware and the `get_user` code had a
conditional statement which allowed our code to bypass the authentication
code.
This exists primarily in order to allow us to mock settings.DEBUG for
the purposes of rate limiting, without actually mocking
settings.DEBUG, which I suspect Django never intended one to do, and
thus caused some very strange test failures (see
https://github.com/zulip/zulip/pull/776 for details).
This makes us more consistent, since we have other wrappers
like client_patch, client_put, and client_delete.
Wrapping also will facilitate instrumentation of our posting code.
Like the recent change blocking JSON endpoints for deactivated users
and users in deactivated realms, this change is a hardening
improvement. Those users should be unable to get an active session
anyway, but if somehow one is leaked, this means they won't be able to
access any user data.
