- 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.
