We restrict access of messages from web public streams if
anonymous login is disabled via `enable_spectator_access`.
Display of `Anonymous login` button is now controlled by
the value of `enable_spectator_access`.
Admins can toggle `enable_spectator_access` via org settings in UI.
This utilizes the generic `BaseNotes` we added for multipurpose
patching. With this migration as an example, we can further support
more types of notes to replace the monkey-patching approach we have used
throughout the codebase for type safety.
JsonableError has two major benefits over json_error:
* It can be raised from anywhere in the codebase, rather than
being a return value, which is much more convenient for refactoring,
as one doesn't potentially need to change error handling style when
extracting a bit of view code to a function.
* It is guaranteed to contain the `code` property, which is helpful
for API consistency.
Various stragglers are not updated because JsonableError requires
subclassing in order to specify custom data or HTTP status codes.
model__id syntax implies needing a JOIN on the model table to fetch the
id. That's usually redundant, because the first table in the query
simply has a 'model_id' column, so the id can be fetched directly.
Django is actually smart enough to not do those redundant joins, but we
should still avoid this misguided syntax.
The exceptions are ManytoMany fields and queries doing a backward
relationship lookup. If "streams" is a many-to-many relationship, then
streams_id is invalid - streams__id syntax is needed. If "y" is a
foreign fields from X to Y:
class X:
y = models.ForeignKey(Y)
then object x of class X has the field x.y_id, but y of class Y doesn't
have y.x_id. Thus Y queries need to be done like
Y.objects.filter(x__id__in=some_list)
django.utils.translation.ugettext is a deprecated alias of
django.utils.translation.gettext as of Django 3.0, and will be removed
in Django 4.0.

This makes it much more clear that this feature does JSON encoding,
which previously was only indicated in the documentation.

This handles the conditions when anchor values are larger than
LARGER_THAN_MAX_MESSAGE_ID by clamping them down to it. Also added
tests for the function parse_anchor_value.
Fixes#16768.
We raise MissingAuthenticationError now, which adds
`www_authenticate=session` header to the error response. This
stops modern web-browsers from displaying a login form everytime
a 401 response it sent to the client.
When user requests for a realm that doesn't exists, we raise
a InvalidSubdomainError.
This reduces our effort at repeatedly ensuring realm is valid
in request in web-public queries.
Via API, users can now access messages which are in web-public
streams without any authentication.
If the user is not authenticated, we assume it is a web-public
query and add `streams:web-public` narrow if not already present
to the narrow. web-public streams are also directly accessible.
Any malformed narrow which is not allowed in a web-public query
results in a 400 or 401. See test_message_fetch for the allowed
queries.
