Synapse doesn’t allow for media resources to be played directly from
Chrome. It is a problem for users on other networks (e.g. IRC)
communicating with Matrix users through a gateway. The gateway sends
them the raw URL for the resource when a Matrix user uploads a video
and the video cannot be played directly in Chrome using that URL.
Chrome argues it is not authorized to play the video because of the
Content Security Policy. Chrome checks for the "media-src" policy which
is missing, and defauts to the "default-src" policy which is "none".
As Synapse already sends "object-src: 'self'" I thought it wouldn’t be
a problem to add "media-src: 'self'" to the CSP to fix this problem.
Given we have disabled lazy loading for incr syncs in #3840, we can make self-LL more efficient by only doing it on initial sync. Also adds a bounds check for if/when we change our mind, so that we don't try to include LL members on sync responses with no timeline.
ExpiringCache required that `start()` be called before it would actually
start expiring entries. A number of places didn't do that.
This PR removes `start` from ExpiringCache, and automatically starts
backround reaping process on creation instead.
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.
Let's try to rationalise the logging that happens when we are processing an
incoming transaction, to make it easier to figure out what is going wrong when
they take ages. In particular:
- make everything start with a [room_id event_id] prefix
- make sure we log a warning when catching exceptions rather than just turning
them into other, more cryptic, exceptions.
Currently we rely on the master to invalidate this cache promptly.
However, after having moved most federation endpoints off of master this
no longer happens, causing outbound fedeariont to get blackholed.
Fixes#3798
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.
