This was ill-advised. We can't modify verify_keys here, because the response
object has already been signed by the requested key.
Furthermore, it's somewhat unnecessary because existing versions of Synapse
(which get upset that the notary key isn't present in verify_keys) will fall
back to a direct fetch via `/key/v2/server`.
Also: more tests for fetching keys via perspectives: it would be nice if we actually tested when our fetcher can't talk to our notary impl.
* Kill off redundant SynapseRequestFactory
We already get the Site via the Channel, so there's no need for a dedicated
RequestFactory: we can just use the right constructor.
* Workaround for error when fetching notary's own key
As a notary server, when we return our own keys, include all of our signing
keys in verify_keys.
This is a workaround for #6596.
* Remove redundant python2 support code
`str.decode()` doesn't exist on python3, so presumably this code was doing
nothing
* Filter out pushers with corrupt data
When we get a row with unparsable json, drop the row, rather than returning a
row with null `data`, which will then cause an explosion later on.
* Improve logging when we can't start a pusher
Log the ID to help us understand the problem
* Make email pusher setup more robust
We know we'll have a `data` member, since that comes from the database. What we
*don't* know is if that is a dict, and if that has a `brand` member, and if
that member is a string.
We were doing this in a number of places which meant that some login
code paths incremented the counter multiple times.
It was also applying ratelimiting to UIA endpoints, which was probably
not intentional.
In particular, some custom auth modules were calling
`check_user_exists`, which incremented the counters, meaning that people
would fail to login sometimes.
The `http_proxy` and `HTTPS_PROXY` env vars can be set to a `host[:port]` value which should point to a proxy.
The address of the proxy should be excluded from IP blacklists such as the `url_preview_ip_range_blacklist`.
The proxy will then be used for
* push
* url previews
* phone-home stats
* recaptcha validation
* CAS auth validation
It will *not* be used for:
* Application Services
* Identity servers
* Outbound federation
* In worker configurations, connections from workers to masters
Fixes#4198.
