Firstly, we always logged that the request was being handled via
`JsonResource._async_render`, so we change that to use the servlet name
we add to the request.
Secondly, we pass the exception information to the logger rather than
formatting it manually. This makes it consistent with other exception
logging, allwoing logging hooks and formatters to access the exception
information.
Turns out that the library does a better job of parsing URIs than our
reinvented wheel. Who knew.
There are two things going on here. The first is that, unlike
parse_server_name, URI.fromBytes will strip off square brackets from IPv6
literals, which means that it is valid input to ClientTLSOptionsFactory and
HostnameEndpoint.
The second is that we stay in `bytes` throughout (except for the argument to
ClientTLSOptionsFactory), which avoids the weirdness of (sometimes) ending up
with idna-encoded values being held in `unicode` variables. TBH it probably
would have been ok but it made the tests fragile.
* Remove redundant WrappedConnection
The matrix federation client uses an HTTP connection pool, which times out its
idle HTTP connections, so there is no need for any of this business.
* Correctly retry and back off if we get a HTTPerror response
* Refactor request sending to have better excpetions
MatrixFederationHttpClient blindly reraised exceptions to the caller
without differentiating "expected" failures (e.g. connection timeouts
etc) versus more severe problems (e.g. programming errors).
This commit adds a RequestSendFailed exception that is raised when
"expected" failures happen, allowing the TransactionQueue to log them as
warnings while allowing us to log other exceptions as actual exceptions.
- Improve logging: log things in the right order, include destination and txids
in all log lines, don't log successful responses twice
- Fix the docstring on TransportLayerClient.send_transaction
- Don't use treq.request, which is overcomplicated for our purposes: just use a
twisted.web.client.Agent.
- simplify the logic for setting up the bodyProducer
- fix bytes/str confusions
If a connection is lost before a request is read from Request, Twisted
sets `method` (and `uri`) attributes to dummy values. These dummy values
have incorrect types (i.e. they're not bytes), and so things like
`__repr__` would raise an exception.
To fix this we had a helper method to return the method with a
consistent type.
If a HTTP handler throws an exception while processing a request we
automatically write a JSON error response. If the handler had already
started writing a response twisted throws an exception.
We should check for this case and simple abort the connection if there
was an error after the response had started being written.
The existing deferred timeout helper function (and the one into twisted)
suffer from a bug when a deferred's canceller throws an exception, #3842.
The new helper function doesn't suffer from this problem.
We want to wait until we have read the response body before we log the request
as complete, otherwise a confusing thing happens where the request appears to
have completed, but we later fail it.
To do this, we factor the salient details of a request out to a separate
object, which can then keep track of the txn_id, so that it can be logged.
The problem with dumping all of the json response into the Request object at
once is that doing so starts the timeout for the next request to be received:
so if it takes longer than 60s to stream back the response to the client, the
client never gets it.
The correct solution is to use a Producer; then the timeout is only started
once all of the content is sent over the TCP connection.
This commit moves a bunch of the logic for deciding when to log the receipt and
completion of HTTP requests into SynapseRequest, rather than in the request
handling wrappers.
Advantages of this are:
* we get logs for *all* requests (including OPTIONS and HEADs), rather than
just those that end up hitting handlers we've remembered to decorate
correctly.
* when a request handler wires up a Producer (as the media stuff does
currently, and as other things will do soon), we log at the point that all
of the traffic has been sent to the client.
This code brings the SimpleHttpClient into line with the
MatrixFederationHttpClient by having it raise HttpResponseExceptions when a
request fails (rather than trying to parse for matrix errors and maybe raising
MatrixCodeMessageException).
Then, whenever we were checking for MatrixCodeMessageException and turning them
into SynapseErrors, we now need to check for HttpResponseExceptions and call
to_synapse_error.
We really shouldn't be sending all CodeMessageExceptions back over the C-S API;
it will include things like 401s which we shouldn't proxy.
That means that we need to explicitly turn a few HttpResponseExceptions into
SynapseErrors in the federation layer.
The effect of the latter is that the matrix errcode will get passed through
correctly to calling clients, which might help with some of the random
M_UNKNOWN errors when trying to join rooms.
We need to do a bit more validation when we get a server name, but don't want
to be re-doing it all over the shop, so factor out a separate
parse_and_validate_server_name, and do the extra validation.
Also, use it to verify the server name in the config file.
Make sure that server_names used in auth headers are sane, and reject them with
a sensible error code, before they disappear off into the depths of the system.
otherwise we explode with:

...where the logger apparently recurses whilst trying to log the error, hitting the
maximum recursion depth and killing everything badly.
When we finish processing a request, log the number of events we fetched from
the database to handle it.
[I'm trying to figure out which requests are responsible for large amounts of
event cache churn. It may turn out to be more helpful to add counts to the
prometheus per-request/block metrics, but that is an extension to this code
anyway.]
(instead of everywhere that writes a response. Or rather, the subset of places
which write responses where we haven't forgotten it).
This also means that we don't have to have the mysterious version_string
attribute in anything with a request handler.
Unfortunately it does mean that we have to pass the version string wherever we
instantiate a SynapseSite, which has been c&ped 150 times, but that is code
that ought to be cleaned up anyway really.
This is useful in its own right, because server.py is full of stuff; but more
importantly, I want to do some refactoring that will cause a circular reference
as it is.
It is especially important that sync requests don't get cached, as if a
sync returns the same token given then the client will call sync with
the same parameters again. If the previous response was cached it will
get reused, resulting in the client tight looping making the same
request and never making any progress.
In general, clients will expect to get up to date data when requesting
APIs, and so its safer to do a blanket no cache policy than only
whitelisting APIs that we know will break things if they get cached.
It's useful to know when there are peaks in incoming requests - which isn't
quite the same as there being peaks in outgoing responses, due to the time
taken to handle requests.
