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.
Add federation_domain_whitelist
gives a way to restrict which domains your HS is allowed to federate with.
useful mainly for gracefully preventing a private but internet-connected HS from trying to federate to the wider public Matrix network
Avoid throwing a (harmless) exception when we try to write an error response to
an http request where the client has disconnected.
This comes up as a CRITICAL error in the logs which tends to mislead people
into thinking there's an actual problem
For each request, track the amount of time spent waiting for a db
connection. This entails adding it to the LoggingContext and we may as well add
metrics for it while we are passing.
In order to circumvent the number of duplicate foo:count metrics increasing
without bounds, it's time for a rearrangement.

If somebody sends us a request where the the body is invalid utf-8, we should
return a 400 rather than a 500. (json.loads throws a UnicodeError in this
situation)
We might as well catch all Exceptions here: it seems very unlikely that we
would get a request that *isn't caused by invalid json.
preserve_context_over_fn uses a ContextPreservingDeferred, which only restores
context for the duration of its callbacks, which isn't really correct, and
means that subsequent operations in the same request can end up without their
logcontexts.
When we proxy a media request to a remote server, add a query-param, which will
tell the remote server to 404 if it doesn't recognise the server_name.
This should fix a routing loop where the server keeps forwarding back to
itself.
Also improves the error handling on remote media fetches, so that we don't
always return a rather obscure 502.
The abort() method calls loseConnection() which tries to shutdown the
TLS connection cleanly. We now call abortConnection() directly which
should promptly close both the TLS connection and the underlying TCP
connection.
I also added some TODO markers to consider cancelling the old previous
timeout rather than checking time.time(). But given how urgently we want
to get this code released I'd rather leave the existing code with the
duplicate timeouts and the time.time() check.
Add a timeout parameter for controlling how long synapse will wait
for responses from remote servers. For servers that fail include how
they failed to make it easier to debug.
Fetch keys from different servers in parallel rather than in series.
Set the default timeout to 10s.
Always set the config key with an empty list, even if a list isn't specified.
This means that the codepaths are the same for both the empty list and
for a missing key. Since the behaviour is the same for both cases this
makes the code somewhat easier to reason about.
Add url_preview_ip_range_blacklist to let admins specify internal IP ranges that must not be spidered.
Add url_preview_url_blacklist to let admins specify URL patterns that must not be spidered.
Implement a custom SpiderEndpoint and associated support classes to implement url_preview_ip_range_blacklist
Add commentary and generally address PR feedback
pycharm supports them so there is no need to use the other format.
Might as well convert the existing strings to reduce the risk of
people accidentally cargo culting the wrong doc string format.
